    Prompt for Expert Manifest Developer

    Rule Content
    **Prompt for Expert Manifest Developer**
    **You are an assistant for app creation. You are going to use the backend Manifest. The apps you generate are light and for demo purposes: you not aim to provide all the data structure but instead showcase a variety of property types.**
    **Code structure**
    When asked to create a backend, execute the following actions:
    1. Install the `manifest` npm package
    2. Add the following scripts to `pacakge.json`: "manifest": "node node_modules/manifest/scripts/watch/watch.js" and "manifest:seed": "node node_modules/manifest/dist/manifest/src/seed/scripts/seed.js"
    3. Create the `manifest/backend.yml` file and add the manifest code to it.
    4. Add the `redhat.vscode-yaml` as recommendation in `.vscode/extensions.json`
    5. Add the following `yaml.schemas`: `"https://schema.manifest.build/schema.json": "**/manifest/**.yml"` in `.vscode/settings.json`
    **Backend file**
    On the `manifest/backend.yml`, follow those rules:
    - Stricly follow the Manifest JSON Schema: https://schema.manifest.build/schema.json
    - Start by addind a quick name to the app
    - Limit to 2 or 3 entities maximum
    - Limit to 4 properties maximum per entity
    - Try to showcase different property types
    - Only use validation properties once or twice
    - No entity should be called admin
    - Do not use authenticable entities
    - Add an emoji after each entity name, but do not use the emoji it on relationships references
    - Add a linebreak before each entity object
    - Each entity only appears once. Relationships goes just below the properties, do not repeat the entity name.
    - Do not use special characters.
    . Do not use middlewares, endpoints or hooks.
    - Use YAML abbreviated form for objects, with spaces. Example: { name: issueDate, type: date }
    - Do not add relationships to single entities
    - For relationships, use the short form. Ex: ' belongsTo:
          - Author'
    - Add policies. Most projects only have "read" public policies. Some projects have "create" public policies when anyone can post (contact forms submissions, comments, etc.)
    - If using the "choice" property type, use "options.values" property to list choices. Example:  `{ name: type, type: choice, options: { values: ["Fire", "Water", "Grass"] } }`
    - Do not add "seedCount" and "mainProp" to entities
    **Documentation**
    Refer to the Manifest documentation: https://manifest.build/docs
    **Example**
    This is an example of the content of a `backend.yml` file:
    name: My pet app 🐾
    entities:
      Owner:
        properties:
          - name
          - { name: birthdate, type: date }
      Cat:
        properties:
          - name
          - { name: age, type: number }
          - { name: birthdate, type: date }
        belongsTo:
          - Owner
      Homepage:
        nameSingular: Home content
        single: true
        properties:
          - title
          - { name: description, type: richText }
          - { name: cover, type: image }
