docs: list data provider methods explicitly

[anewman15]

List and link required and optional data provider methods explicitly. Listing helps understand what actually the dataProvider object entails and linking helps the reader know ahead of time what's coming in the sections below. Also helps organize the overview better.

In the existing text, the names of methods are inferred from inside the dataProvider object signature . dataProvider object inside the code block is a signature - as the actual object should have method definitions which are mostly async functions. I wanted to mention about the signature.

Hey @anewman15 thanks for the changes, looks much better this way. Just one thing and that's my fault 🤦 We've recently updated data providers and getMany, deleteMany, createMany and updateMany functions are now optional and can be skipped while creating a data provider (in that case, we call singular versions multiple times to achieve the same result)

Can we update the texts to reflect these changes? 🙏

Hi @aliemir ,

I'm making the changes according to your update. It would help if I can have a look at the source files. Would you kindly share them ?

Also, is getApiUrl() also must ? Or is it optional ?

Thanks in advance!

Hey @anewman15 Here's the type definition for the data providers https://github.com/refinedev/refine/blob/next/packages/core/src/contexts/data/IDataContext.ts#L124 hope this helps 🙏
