Report data (GTL) API for with pagination, filtering and more

[martinpovolny]

Since ManageIQ/manageiq-ui-classic#592 the OPS UI is consuming report data served by a JSON endpoint to present the GTL (Grid, table, list) views.

A significant part of all the transactions in the OPS UI goes through this path so this is an opportunity to move forward with the usage of the API in the OPS UI.

We need an API endpoint so that the GTL component would consume the API rather than the current JSON endpoint implemented in the OPS UI controller code.

Ping @chessbyte : this is what we where discussion on various ocasions. Ping @abellotti, @jntullo.

Please, take a look, let's get this moving forward.

@martinpovolny is this still a valid issue. If not can you close.
If there's no update by next week, I'll be closing this issue.

[himdel]

Yes it is, as far as I know, no progress has been made yet in exposing all those product/views/*.yaml over the API.

Cc @kbrock you mentioned having an idea about some "ruport lite" that would expose those over the API?

Thanks @himdel and I'lll remove the stale label to give this another lease on life.

I thought we had a report data endpoint.
So I guess I assumed that could be used to display the product views.

But possibly not.

Yea. I haven't done anything here

[martinpovolny]

Yes, this still is an issue. I am not aware of any effort on the API side that would adress this. Although on the UI side this is already handled by a component that could consume some API if such was available.

@abellotti @gtanzillo would the API repository be a better place for this issue?
