Create fake login/logout for local development

[alodahl]

Auth0 is being integrated as part of #73 but we don't want to force all contributors to configure Auth0 just to work on the app so we'll have a simple auth setup for local development.

Feel free to suggest a better way to do this. This just one possible way among many.

• This should be the default way the app works unless Auth0 is setup - which will be done in #73
• Add the cookie-session package or your preferred cookie library
  • If you haven't worked directly with cookies before, read this background doc
• Implement a GET /login endpoint
  • It should set a cookie, userId which will just be the environment variable USER (your OS username) which has a lifetime of 1 hour
  • If no user record exists with that id, create it. Sequelize has a findOrCreate helper that makes this easy
  • The response to this endpoint should be a redirect to /
• Implement a GET /logout endpoint
  • It should unsets the cookie value
  • Response should be a redirect to /
• Update the /user/progress endpoint added in #66 so that the userId will be the logged-in user id if the cookie has the value set

If you have any question about cookies, Express, ping Bill D in Slack.

@rpytan I've assigned you but feel free free to pair with @MariaKhantech if you'd like!

Hi @rpytan not sure how much progress you made on OSD or if you anticipate having time to finish it. If not, perhaps @MariaKhantech might be interested in working on it or we can also just unassign it for someone else to pick up. Either way is fine. Just let us know. Thanks!

Hi! @vegetabill I would like to work on this issue if the PR has not yet been created, I can still wait for the response from the people who are assigned to it.

[y-martinez]

Ohh I had not seen that you solved it

[rpytan]

Hi Bill, Sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately, I was not able to make much progress during OSD and I don't think I will have time to continue with it.

Thanks for the offer, @y-martinez. Hopefully you see another issue that interests you. We have a bunch. If you need help finding one, please let me know.

Since I worked on a spike of Auth0/dev auth while we were creating the issues, I am adapting that spike code for a PR that will be ready soon. Assigning to me in the meantime.
