JsonApiSerializer and $resourceKey

[b-hobbs]

Hello, sorry if this has already been answered but I couldn't find anything related.

For the JSON-API Serializer you need to pass in a $resourceKey.

// Important, notice the Resource Key in the third parameter:
$resource = new Item($book, new JsonApiBookTransformer(), 'books');

But wouldn't a given transformer typically have the same type for it's response? A book would always be of type books. Wouldn't it be better to declare a default type in the transformer?

I ended up writing something to handle exactly this. Essentially, I store a $resourceKey on the Transformer and each transformer defaults to using that. However, the user can still pass a string in via the default implementation to override the Transformer's key.

@dtirer If you are willing, would you make a pull request with that functionality? If not then I'll do it over the weekend.

@willishq sure, I'd be interested. I should be able to do it in the next few days
