Feature/epistolary event model updates #27

Closed XanderVertegaal closed 7 months ago

XanderVertegaal commented 7 months ago

Resolves #9, #23.

This PR

adds a Gift model, with foreign keys to an associated 'giver' and a letter action;
adds a WorldEvent model, with a foreign key to an epistolary event. In the future, the team may decide to attach world events to letter actions, but for now, epistolary events feel like a good place to start.
adds a computed property display_date on the abstract LetterCraftDate model;
adds instigator to the list of possible Roles.

Ah, good point. I'll make the relationship bidirectional.

This turned out to be a bit more complicated than I thought (but good practice with working with recursive ManyToManyFields). The new structure can be summarised as follows:

Epistolary Events can trigger World Events
World Events can trigger Epistolary Events
Epistolary Events can trigger other Epistolary Events
World events can trigger other World Events

Let me know what you think!
