Resource categories CRUD endpoints

[idormenco]

We need CRUD endpoints for resource categories.

• POST /api/resources/category creates a category/subcategory
• DELETE /api/resources/category/{id} deletes a category
• PUT /api/resources/category/{id} updates a category/subcategory

suggested request model

{
    "parent_id": GUID or null, // send null when it is a category & send parent category id when it is a subcategory
    "name": string,
    "slug": string
}

@idormenco, i will work on this.

Current data set in ResourceCategoriesTableSeeder looks like categories have parent_id=0 instead of null. Will those change as well, or should the request model use 0 instead of null?

@razvanposobescu we also need

• GET /api/resources/category/{id} to get the details of a category/subcategory

[razvanposobescu]

@sdecianu, what details do you want the endpoint to show?

[sdecianu]

The details view should contain the category as well as its subcategories. I'm thinking of the following:

• the GET-by-id endpoint response should contain the id, name and parent_id (if it exists)
• I can separately search all subcategories by parent id, so there is no need for childrenIds unless you really think I should do 1 request instead of 2.
