[WIP] split config schema #417
Conversation
- Introduced `DataSourceConnection` and `DataSourceQuery` abstract classes for managing data source configurations and queries. - Created corresponding interfaces: `DataSourceConnectionInterface` and `DataSourceQueryInterface`. - Added schema generation methods in `ConfigSchemas` for validating connection and query configurations. This lays the groundwork for splitting the config from single data source object to connection and query part.
- Introduced `DataSourceConnectionCrud` and `DataSourceQueryCrud` classes for managing data source connections and queries stored in WordPress options. - Created an abstract base class `WpOptionsConfigStore` to provide common CRUD operations for configurations. - Added constant class maps for data source connection and query configurations.

Should we just merge this into the query, then? I don't think I understand the need for separation.

HttpDataSource and HttpQuery classes are different in that HttpDataSource only needs the config as input and nothing else, while for HttpQuery, those configs are just one of the inputs required amongst others.
The query configs (base/table for Airtable, spreadsheet/sheet for Google Sheets, etc.) currently don't map 1:1 with our Query/HttpQuery classes since one such query config would need multiple HttpQuery instances to register blocks. For example, selecting 2 tables in Airtable would need at least 2 queries - list and search queries for each of the tables. I tend to think of configs as minimum data required for us to generate the queries and register blocks which for Airtable would mean just knowing the tables and the schema for each and our integration code would use that to generate the HttpQuery class.
The new DataSourceConnection and DataSourceQuery classes can focus on just one thing - validating the configs. Having the config split would allow reusing the connections.

Open to suggestions if this sounds like its complicating things

What are the others?

input_schema, output_schema, preprocess_response which might not always be derived from the query config.

Could we provide defaults that could then be edited in the UI, if needed?
