REST API support

[mumoshu]

It would be nice include a library or a stub of a REST API server in kube-toolkit generated project, so that we could build a nifty Web UI which relies on the REST API.
Imagine something like Brigade + Kashti :)

For reference, it would be nice to have a stub implementation of a REST API server like Brigade's.
I'm not yet sure which part of the stub could be extracted into a library of kube-toolkit(Nothing?).

Have you seen this?

There actually is a dashboard in /gateway/web, using gRPC-gateway - essentially, add this to your gRCP method definition:

	rpc GetVersion(google.protobuf.Empty) returns (Version){
		option (google.api.http) = {
            get: "/api/version"
          };
	}

And when building you automatically get a Swagger definition, together with a TypeScript client ready to use in the Angular dashboard app.

Does this answer your question?

(There should be a very clear doc explaining how to extend and add a web component, but that's another story...)

@radu-matei Awesome! It seems to be exactly what I was looking for. Great job 👍

Thanks for the answer. Closing this as resolved, opened a dedicated issue #30 to track documentation improvements.
