libscott 7e33f2bd52 Tx ID as Asset ID (#926)
* Allow AssetLinks to be used in place of Assets in the Transaction Model and enforce `Transaction.transfer()` to only take an AssetLink

* Remove AssetLink's inheritance from Asset

* Remove id from the Asset model

* Fix get_txids_by_asset_id query for rethinkdb after removing asset's uuid

Because `CREATE` transactions don't have an asset that contains an id
anymore, one way to find all the transactions related to an asset is to
query the database twice: once for the `CREATE` transaction and another
for the `TRANSFER` transactions.

* Add TODO notice for vote test utils to be fixtures

* Update asset model documentation to reflect usage of transaction id

* Fix outdated asset description in transaction schema

Documentation on ReadTheDocs

The BigchainDB Documentation Strategy

  • Include explanatory comments and docstrings in your code. Write Google style docstrings with a maximum line width of 119 characters.
  • For quick overview and help documents, feel free to create README.md or other X.md files, written using GitHub-flavored Markdown. Markdown files render nicely on GitHub. We might auto-convert some .md files into a format that can be included in the long-form documentation.
  • We use Sphinx to generate the long-form documentation in various formats (e.g. HTML, PDF).
  • We also use Sphinx to generate Python code documentation (from docstrings and possibly other sources).
  • We also use Sphinx to document all REST APIs, with the help of the httpdomain extension.

How to Generate the HTML Version of the Long-Form Documentation

If you want to generate the HTML version of the long-form documentation on your local machine, you need to have Sphinx and some Sphinx-contrib packages installed. To do that, go to a subdirectory of docs (e.g. docs/server) and do:

pip install -r requirements.txt

You can then generate the HTML documentation in that subdirectory by doing:

make html

It should tell you where the generated documentation (HTML files) can be found. You can view it in your web browser.
