Streamline live resource generation by inspecting the resource Ecto schema

[tmbb]

Introspect the ecto schema and automatically inflect the schema name to infer the singular name, plural name and the pubsub event name. The following exmaple is copied from the @moduledoc. This makes it very succint to use Backpex to add an admin layer to a number of Ecto schemas with very little code.

To use this functionality in your app, first define a new module in your application which encapsulates data that is common to all resources (repo, pubsub and layouts)

defmodule MyAppWeb.LiveResource do
  use Backpex.AutoLiveResource,
    repo: MyApp.Repo,
    layout: {MyAppWeb.Layouts, :admin},
    pubsub: MyApp.PubSub
end

Now, you can define a new live resource using the module above

defmodule MyAppWeb.MyResourceLive do
  use MyAppWeb.LiveResource,
    resource: MyApp.MyContext.MyResource
end

There are currently no integration tests for this (but then again, there are no integration tests for the rest of Backpex).
