templates API

[eroux]

A few things to fix on the /resource/templates/ API:

• I think it would be better named template (no s)
• instead of passing the template name in the ?searchType argument, it could be in the url: /resource/templates?searchType=IIIFPres_itemInfo could be /resource/template/IIIFPres_itemInfo
• /resource/template (no parameter) should return the list of templates
• everything should work with json parameters (in POST or GET)

In fact, I think maybe using /query instead of /resource/template would make more sense, I don't think the /resource prefix is that relevant here... there is a little bit of API design to do here, creating a swagger file first will probably help

Also, http://buda1.bdrc.io/queries returns links with the .arq suffix, which don't work... but using some best practices like this one would make more sense anyways, the output would look something like:

[
  {
    "id": "PersonNames_byName",
    "href": "/queries/PersonNames_byName",
    "description": "Gets some basic info on persons with names matching the argument"
  },
...
]

(note that this would require a "description" field on the queries, which would be very useful)

+1 These are great suggestions.

All points implemented as of commit 6961186 (Except for swagger file which requires some thinking and time)

looks good, thanks! the swagger file has its own issue, closing this one
