Obtaining pageLink path in SPA

[Michael Haufe]

I came across something I thought would be trivial but seems poorly documented.

In the SPA demo project I attempted to create a PageLink component to simply link to a chosen page. I do not see a way to convert the UUID to a path name so that it's usable. I must be missing something simple...

The dialog:

```

label: Page Link

form:

  properties:

    target:

      label: Choose Page

      $type: pageLinkField

      identifierToPathConverter:

        class: info.magnolia.dam.app.assets.field.translator.AssetCompositeIdKeyTranslator

    text:

      label: Label

      $type: textField

      i18n: true

```

After linking to the homepage the json result for the component is:

```

{

  @id: "6d2a9522-beac-4416-a0e1-d6049cad8d2f"

  @name: "03"

  @nodeType: "mgnl:component"

  @nodes: []

  @path: "/react-minimal/contact0/main/03"

  mgnl:created: "2021-03-03T09:58:01.911-06:00"

  mgnl:lastModified: "2021-03-03T09:58:01.911-06:00"

  mgnl:template: "spa-lm:components/pageLink"

  target: "066761ae-f69b-4029-9900-496259837d2d"

  text: "Home"

}

```

I was hoping to get the path reflected in the dialog. What am I missing? `identifierToPathConverter` seems pointless.

You need Resolver, something like

  - name: target
    propertyName: target
    referenceResolver:
      class: info.magnolia.rest.reference.jcr.JcrReferenceResolverDefinition
      targetWorkspace: website
      generateLink: true

in your endpoint definition.

It is documented https://docs.magnolia-cms.com/product-docs/Developing/API/REST-API/Delivery-endpoint-API/Delivery-endpoint-API-v2/Resolving-references-with-the-delivery-endpoint.html

This makes far more sense now.
