Make it easier to create default content

[nikolajlauridsen]

In many cases, all you need for your test is a completely empty content, with some name.

Currently this is a bit of pain to do:

Create doctype:

const rootDocType = new DocumentTypeBuilder()
      .withName(rootDocTypeName)
      .withAllowAsRoot(true)
      .build()
const createdRootDocType = await umbracoApi.documentTypes.save(rootDocType);

Then create content:

const rootContentNode = new ContentBuilder()
      .withContentTypeAlias(createdRootDocType.alias)
      .withAction("saveNew")
      .addVariant()
        .withName(firstRootNodeName)
        .withSave(true)
      .done()
      .build();
const savedRootNode = await umbracoApi.content.save(rootContentNode);

This seems like a lot of code for empty content which you mostly need, instead I propose we use some helper methods like CreateBasicContentType, so it could look something like this:

// Create doctype
const rootDocType = new DocumentTypeBuilder().CreateBasicContentType("MyBasicContentType");
const createdRootDocType = await umbracoApi.documentTypes.save(rootDocType);

// Create content
const rootContentNode = new ContentBuilder().CreateBasicContent("MyBasicContent", createdRootDocType.alias);
const savedRootNode = await umbracoApi.content.save(rootContentNode);

Am I right in thinking this is already done now? I was going to have a go but seems like ContentApiHelper.ts covers the task

@emma-hq It's not done yet, this is basically we want methods in the DocumentTypeBuilder & ContentBuilder😄
So we would be able to call const rootDocType = new DocumentTypeBuilder().CreateBasicContentType("MyBasicContentType"); To maybe create a content type with a text-string property named Title & a text area property named Body.
This way contributors wouldn't even need to know how the builder pattern worked, to create a default document type, hope that makes sense 😁
