Return project/area name and project_uuid/area_uuid

[AlexanderWillner]

Goal

• As a KanbanView developer
• I want to receive both project/area and their uuid
• so that I can reuse most of the old code when using things.py

Suggested approach
In order to achieve this goal I suggest to return "project": "test project", "project_uuid": "Uaxh5ytCho8CSTNsUCxtAv" instead of "project": "Uaxh5ytCho8CSTNsUCxtAv"

Additional context

Some other approaches:

1. Return

{
    …
    "project": {"uuid": "…", "title" "…"}
    …
}

2. Setting include_items to true.

3. Use things.projects() and things.areas() to create a dict that maps ids to names. You can reuse that dict for every request. That way you can easily lookup any area/project ID if needed.

The trade offs here involve lookup time and cleanliness of API.

[AlexanderWillner]

Returning such a dict be a cleaner approach. Always enabling include_items or always run a second query seems to be a bit too much (I think getting the context of a to-do in terms of a title is often needed anyways).

@AlexanderWillner To clarify, you wouldn't always run that second query (things.projects(), things.areas()). Rather, it's something you do once and then store in memory as a Python dict for all subsequent requests.
