Add Resource Collection example to Everything server #3130
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
@olaservo suggested that we add an example of resource collections. It was prompted by this discussion on the topic.
Describe the solution you'd like
@olaservo has posted a gist that demonstrates the pattern where a single resources/read request
Her example returns multiple ResourceContents with different URIs - useful for modeling collections, indexes, or composite resources.
Resources like the following:
-
demo://collection/summer-specials: Returns all items as separate resources
-
demo://collection/by-category/{category}: Returns items filtered by category
-
demo://collection/item/{id}: Returns a single item (for individual access)
Describe alternatives you've considered
None really. This is a well thought out example, and I think we should add it when the newly refactored Everything server PR is merged.

The new resource collection example demonstrates the pattern where a single
resources/readrequest returns multipleResourceContentswith different URIs. This is useful for modeling collections, indexes, or composite resources.Resources added:
demo://collection/summer-specials- Returns all items as separate resourcesdemo://collection/by-category/{category}- Returns items filtered by category (accessories, footwear, skincare)demo://collection/item/{id}- Returns a single item for individual accessThe implementation includes:
Each collection returns multiple resources with their own URIs, demonstrating how collections can expose nested items as independently addressable resources.
