v0.4.0

Release Notes for Version 0.4.0

New Features

• controller_for decorator: Introduced a new decorator controller_for in registry.py to automatically register a controller for a model. This simplifies the creation and registration of custom controllers, making it easier for developers to implement custom hooks.
• Kebab-Case Conversion Utility: Added a new utility function to_kebab_case in helpers.py that converts strings from various formats (CamelCase, PascalCase, snake_case, SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE) to kebab-case. This is useful for URL handling.
• Pagination and Filtering Functionality:
  • Implemented pagination and filtering (sort and order) in the routes.
  • Created custom functions for handling pagination and filters.
  • Organized the code by introducing a new module pagination.py and enhancing helpers.py.
  • Enabled selection of the pagination type via the pagination_type parameter or the NINJA_PAGINATION_CLASS setting.
  • Leveraged page limit configuration using the NINJA_PAGINATION_PER_PAGE setting.

Improvements
