App generated through template includes collection model that is an AF::Base model

[elrayle]

Descriptive summary

The generated app/model/collection.rb extends ActiveFedora::Base. To move to Valkyrie, the generated collection model needs to be_a Hyrax::Resource.

It is unclear if the generated collection is needed. Is there a reason not to just use Hyrax::PcdmCollection?

Rationale

All models should be_a Hyrax::Resource to work with Valkyrie persistence.

Expected behavior

Generating a new Hyrax app using template.rb creates Collection < Hyrax::PcdmCollection in the new app's app/models/collection.rb.

QUESTION:

It is unclear if the generated collection is needed. Is there a reason not to just use Hyrax::PcdmCollection?

Actual behavior

Generating a new Hyrax app using template.rb creates Collection < ActiveFedora::Base in the new app's app/models/collection.rb.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Generate a new Hyrax app using...

rails _5.2.6_ new my_hyrax -m https://raw.githubusercontent.com/samvera/hyrax/v3.1.0/template.rb

NOTE: May need to adjust the tag from v3.1.0 to the latest version tag for Hyrax.

i suspect we're not quite ready for this? a variety of tickets are open related to collection handling for valkyrie.

i'd suggest we hold this one until after manual testing on nurax-pg has carried forward.
