Create new board from template

[rrebase]

It would be nice to have the option of choosing a template when creating a new board.

Definition of Done:

• It's possible to pick a predefined template
• A set of labels & columns are created with the new board

Firstly great project @rrebase. This feature sounds great. Any ideas on where you would start? - I am new to react.

It would be good to expand the NewBoardDialog to allow users to select from a template, or to create a blank board. I am stuck at the createBoard function, to include columns and tasks on board creation.

Hey @SeanPreusse. Good question, yes it makes sense to expand the NewBoardDialog.

Do you have backend (Django) experience? Currently the createBoard doesn't support adding additional fields about the columns & tasks that would be created with the new board. This will require some changes in the endpoint that creates the board. I imagine that the templates could be predefined in some way and will just have to send the template id when creating the board. Then the endpoint would create the new board & any columns/tasks/labels that are associated with that template.

Thanks, @rrebase! I will run through a few more tutorials and give it a go.
