Linked data

What kind of change does this PR introduce?

Feature

What is the current behavior?

Pages with data that have a foreign key can't display the related data

What is the new behavior?

There's a new Attribute Type so that you can define the foreign key related data and display in a dropdown.

Additional context

Is this what you had in mind for Issue #18 ?
I can think of other features to add like including an option query parameter for defining other constraints.
Also, please note the naming - I'm open to changing any of it.

I didn't include an example in the commit, but this is what a page with the linked data looks like in the dashibaseConfig

{
name: "Team",
page_id: "team",
table_id: "Team",
id_col: "TeamId",
//user_col: "Owner",
enforce_user_col: false,
mode: "list",
attributes: [
{
// Enum example - this will generate a dropdown with the provided options
id: "Name",
label: "Name",
required: false,
readonly: false,
type: AttributeType.Text,
//enumOptions: ['foo', 'bar'], // Specify enum options
} as Attribute,
{
// Linked Page example
id: "LeagueId",
label: "League",
required: false,
readonly: false,
type: AttributeType.PageX,
linkedPage: {
name: 'league',
id_col: 'LeagueId',
value_col: 'Name',
} as LinkedPage
} as Attribute,
]
},

Wow nice! Thanks @OneFishTwoFishRedFish-JFish - I might take a while to review this because I'm working on a related issue as well. Will get back to you by Friday night, please bump this thread if I don't.

But in the meantime, I'll absolutely love to set up some time to chat - if you're up for a call, could you send an email to sk@dashibase.com?

[OneFishTwoFishRedFish-JFish]

Would like to close this PR, the latest JOIN commit accomplishes this plus a whole lot more.
