Generate a hypermedia representation

The goal of this task is to write a function that will accept an object or array (and a string path), and return the data in a hypermedia representation (HR).

The caller will be any of the Express.js functions in your server.js code (e.g. app.get). For example:

// Assume that "o" is a variable that holds the result of a "get one" request to the data store

// Return, bare (not a hypermedia representation)
res.json(o);

// Return, as a hypermedia representation
// Call the generator function
res.json(generate(o, '/api/users'));

HR design or shape

As described in the notes, the HR should look like the following, for an object (after conversion to JSON):

HR for an item

The HR for an array should look like the following (after conversion to JSON):

HR for an array

Algorithm, guidance

If you need it, here is some guidance about how to write the function:

// The function accepts two arguments:
// The data (object or array)
// A string path to the resource collection
// (e.g. /api/products)

// The function will return an object
// The data will be packaged inside
// The caller will then run the package through JSON.stringify()

// First task, create an object that will be the package
// Add the known metadata (i.e. timestamp, version)

// Determine if the incoming data is an object or an array

// If it is an object...
// =====================

// Package links will have self and collection
// Item links will have self and collection
// Incoming data is put into an array and added to the package
// Set the package count value

// If it is an array...
// ====================

// Package links will have self only
// Item links will have self for each item, generated 
// (this can be done at least two ways, array forEach(), 
// or array map() with spread syntax to add a new object property)
// Set the package count value

// At the end, return the packaged data
// (but not as JSON - leave that task to the caller)
