Description

Is there or could there be something like a scaffold and/or resource generator?

In particular it would be very convenient if a simple generator that did the following:

create a model
create a generic "empty" controller that used JR
create create a resource with the same attributes as model
create a jsonapi_resources namespace in the router.rb

bonus points...

a generator that was relationship aware for sideloading and or able to do stub out basic filtering and pagination features.

@eccegordo - I did not previously see this feature request, but I had a similar desire so I whipped this up over the weekend. I'd be curious to get your (and anyone else's) feedback. There are a few questions I'd like to resolve before creating a PR in this repo for @lgebhardt to review (though his early feedback is obviously welcome too!).

@jamesconant Hi sorry for very slow delay. Been busy with other projects. But starting to get back to trying JR. How do I try out this branch or PR? A cursory look this seems promising. Happy to try any code out. Trying to build a new API from scratch now in Rails 6.

Hi @eccegordo - If you check out the usage doc provided in the PR it should provide some guidance. In hindsight, i wonder if this level of templating is even really necessary. If you or someone else would like to take this PR and run with it, be my guest but at the moment I don't think I've got the bandwidth to follow up on it.

and no worries on the delay, life happens :)
