API: Ability to fork project

[rajdip-b]

Description

This function will allow any user to fork a project into any of their workspace, where they have permission to create a project. This is directly dependent on #154, whereby only projects with accessLevel set to GLOBAL will be allowed to fork. Forking a project will copy over all the configurations contained in a project.

Solution

Technical details

• Users should be able to fork a project only if the accessLevel is GLOBAL.
• Forking will take the following details:
  • projectId: ID of the project to be forked
  • workspaceId: (Optional) ID of the workspace to which the fork will belong to. Defaults to the user's default workspace. If any other workspace is specified, the user should have CREATE_PROJECT authority in the workspace. Otherwise, it should throw an error.
  • forkName: (Optional) Name of the forked project. Defaults to the actual project name. Should throw an error if not specified and a project with the same name already exists in the workspace.
• Forking will copy over all the variables, secrets and environments along with the configuration versions into the user's project.
• Making changes to the fork SHOULD NOT reflect changes in the original project.

Implementation steps

• Get Add project access level #154 implemented if not already done
• Add the business logic in project.service.ts
• Add the controller logic in project.controller.ts
• Add relevant test in project.e2e.spec.ts

Helper function

Additionally, for the convenience of client applications, we would also like to add an endpoint in workspace module that will fetch all the workspaces where the users have CREATE_PROJECT or higher authorities set.

Additional context

We have plans to set up an upstream just like GitHub or GitLab does. But this is set for the future, if and when we get the demand.
