createCollection improvements

I think we could make a couple improvements to createCollection. For example it could be used to:

• add custom resolvers and mutations
• define views
• define access restrictions

Basically, centralize everything that’s currently defined with Collection.doSomething() in one place to make the APIs cleaner. Any other ideas?

Maybe something like this would work:

// client + server

export const Posts = createCollection({

  collectionName: 'Posts',

  typeName: 'Post',

  schema,
  
  checks: {
    read: {},
    create: {},
    update: {},
    delete: {},
  }

  views: {
    default: ...,
    top: ...,
    new: ...,
  }

});

// server only

import Posts from '../modules/posts/collection.js';

extendCollection(Posts, {

  resolvers: [
    ...getDefaultResolvers('Posts'),
    { 
      definition: 'randomPost: Post', 
      resolver: randomPostResolver
    }
  ],

  mutations: getDefaultMutations('Posts'),

});
