Page Builder - Allow Category module customization

[Pavel910]

This is:

• Feature request

Detailed Description

We want to be able to add new fields to Page Builder Category module (both API and UI).

Action Items

• [ ] Add CategoryPlugin to api-page-builder (following the same principles as in the other models)
• [ ] Add view plugins for each individual Category view: CategoryFormViewPlugin, CategoryDataListViewPlugin
• [ ] Refactor Category views using hooks (this is a smart thing to do while digging through that CRUD module)
• [ ] How-to guide on how to customize API and UI

Brainstorming

Ideally, each view would have its own view class with render methods, which return React elements. We need this extra layer of control to allow developers to extend the base view, and add completely override or extend certain parts of the view.

We can also add support for route views override, but that would require the developer to completely reimplement React views. I'm not a huge fan of this approach.

If we have a class per view, that class can have very business-specific customizations in place, which will greatly simplify extension without reimplementing anything.
