docs: add section for Relationship Loading Strategy

[willsoto]

First pass. Open to feedback of course.

#440

[willsoto]

Feedback applied.

One thing I was thinking was whether or not we should have a section dedicated to describing all the various strategies. I know only 2 are supported now, but if there are plans to support more in the future it could be useful to have them all described up-front. I'm thinking something like this

[B4nan]

But that is the page you just added, isn't it? It's called loading strategy, we have 2 of those, and it describes both of them. Sure we could be more verbose if that is what you mean (feel free to do so :])

[B4nan]

Maybe we should rename the page to loading strategies? WDYT?

haha I suppose verbosity is one way to describe what I want. Yes, you are right that it is all there already but I am thinking more in the case that I already know about the feature, but I just need to look up the various supported strategies at a glance. Could be useful, but it was just a thought. I'll think on it more.

I don't have a strong preference either way. I titled it Relationship Loading Strategies because I think there are a whole lot of things one can "load" via an ORM, right? This document specifically refers to how relationships get loaded. But that is certainly debatable :)

The name is fine, what I meant is to use Loading Strategies instead of the current Loading Strategy, so just singular -> plural :]

Oh! Got it haha

Sure that is fine I think, I named it singular since most (all?) of the titles are singular (like Naming Strategy). But yeah I can make that change np

[B4nan]

I don't think so :]

Point taken. Will change.

@B4nan do you want page title and sidebar title changed?

[B4nan]

Yes please, change it on all places, including the file name (and therefore url).

[willsoto]

Should be good, I just did it via the github UI, I hope you plan on squash merging this too 😅

[B4nan]

Sure, no worries, I am squash merging everything (I even accidentally squash merged the v3 PR so the history is totally fucked up with v3 changes being in single commit 🤣)

[willsoto]

@B4nan I'm okay not adding that section for right now. You are free to merge this unless there are other changes you'd like made.

[B4nan]

It's good to have it there, thanks! :]
