Incorporating relations in our examples

[dhmlau]

Description / Steps to reproduce / Feature proposal

Incorporating relations in our examples, either create new example or use existing ones (e.g. todo example).

Acceptance Criteria

The example application should:

• Create another todo intermediate example(a new example package)

• demonstrate defining and configuring a hasMany relation, and calling related repository CRUD APIs from controller methods

• have the necessary unit and acceptance tests

• have proper naming convention for the controller method paths / API endpoints (a good read at https://medium.com/@factoryhr/how-to-build-a-good-api-relationships-and-endpoints-8b07aa37097c)

• Docs and tutorials that show users scaffold the new example package step by step.
  Note:

• List/User hasMany Todos

  • owner decides which use case makes more sense

• Authentication is not in scope of this story.

• bonus: figure out a way that don't duplicate code from todo example.

In discussion with @b-admike and @shimks, there are few options on how to add relations in our examples:
Option 1: Use todo example

• General idea: todo list has todo's
• Pros: effort will be smaller because we will be adding models instead of creating a new app
• Cons: it might be hard for our users to follow if one example serves too many purpose

Option 2: Recreate CoffeeShop example from LB3

• General idea: create a trimmed down version of CoffeeShop that serves the purpose for showing hasMany relation. When we have more relations added, this would be the example to add.
• Pros: this can be a dedicated example if we need to add more relations later. Also, we can use this as a reference on what would be the differences vs LB3

@dhmlau I've added some acceptance criteria, but I think we should discuss what type of app we would like to create before we estimate this task. Thoughts? We have a good starting point with the options you provided and I personally would like to go with Option 2, because I think creating a new app would not be daunting given the examples we already have in place.
