Implement belongsTo relationship in PUT request

0.3.8

It's now possible to update a child object of a belongsTo relationship and define to which owner object this child belongs. In other words: You can now change the owner object or initially create the association via a PUT request.

Example: A customer has many contacts and a contact belongs to exactly one customer. The following OData PUT request associates a contact with a specific customer.

PUT http://0.0.0.0:3000/odata/Contacts(1)
Body:
{
      "customer": {
          "__metadata": {
              "uri": "http://0.0.0.0:3000/odata/Customers(3)"
          }
      }
}

The Contact with id 1 gets associated with / belongs to Customer 3.

Implement belongsTo relationship in POST request

0.3.8

It's now possible to create a child object of a belongsTo relationship and define to which owner object this child belongs.

Example: A customer has many contacts and a contact belongs to exactly one customer. The following OData POST request creates a contact that belongs to a specific customer.

POST http://0.0.0.0:3000/odata/Contacts
Body:
{
        "firstname": "Werner",
        "lastname": "Wüterich",
        "phone": "0511 123456",
        "mobile": "+49 170 8822491",
        "email": "helmut.tammen@gmx.de",
        "address": "My Home",
        "customer": {
          "__metadata": {
            "uri": "http://0.0.0.0:3000/odata/Customers(23)"
          }
        }
}

The new Contact is associated with the Customer 23.

ERROR: GET entity/$links returns wrong url

0.3.8

Error: A GET request to get the links of an association did return the url with the association property and not with the associated class. This is fixed

Ex: GET http://0.0.0.0:3000/odata/Customers(3)/$links/contacts returned

{
  "value": [
    {
      "url": "http://0.0.0.0:3000/odata/contacts(1)"
    }
  ]
} 

with lowercase contacts cause the association parameter is contacts but should return

{
  "value": [
    {
      "url": "http://0.0.0.0:3000/odata/Contacts(1)"
    }
  ]
}

with uppercase Contacts cause the associated class is Contact and it's plural is Contacts.
