Add a "cookbook" style recipe page with examples for each supported language

[jen20]

It would be nice to present short, focused examples for common questions in the style of "cookbook" documentation. Some example scenarios to start with:

• How do I use a data source to look up an existing resource and then use the .get to populate parameters for it?
• How do I use multiple provider instances?
• How do I use computed value in control flow?
• How do I use await when constructing components?
• How do I transform an unknown value from one component to use as an input for another?

Please feel free to add other questions to the list!

I love this idea -- let's pair up to try to move the needle on some of this during M19, as part of our overall focus on improving overall onboarding documentation.

Hi @jen20! This is a great idea and we really appreciate the contribution. We've implemented something like this as Tutorials in our docs site. That said, some of the examples described here aren't represented, so I've included them in big list of ideas for tutorials so that we can discuss as a team when we work on the content plan.

We are currently working on grooming the documentation repo backlog and so I'm going to close this ticket. If you think it should be re-opened, please leave a comment here and we can revisit it.
