Create User Authentication

Title: Implement User Authentication with Firebase

Description: Implement a user authentication system using Firebase Authentication in our FastAPI application. The system will allow users to log in with their email and password, generating a custom token upon successful authentication. This task includes setting up the necessary endpoints, error handling, and debugging.

Tasks:

1. Setup Firebase Authentication:

• Initialize Firebase Admin SDK in the FastAPI application.
• Ensure Firebase is correctly configured with the project credentials.

2. Implement /token Endpoint:

• Create a POST /token endpoint to handle user login.
• Generate a custom Firebase token upon successful login.
• Handle errors for invalid credentials and user not found.

3. Implement /users/me Endpoint (In Progress):

• Create a GET /users/me endpoint to return the authenticated user's information.
• Validate the token received from the /token endpoint.
• Fetch and return user details from Firestore.

4. Testing and Debugging:

• Test the /token endpoint to ensure it generates a valid token.
• Debug and resolve issues with the /users/me endpoint.
• Add necessary logging and debugging information for tracing and diagnosing issues.

Current Status:

• The /token endpoint has been successfully implemented and tested.
• The /users/me endpoint is commented out due to a bug with token validation. Next Steps:
• Resolve the issue with the /users/me endpoint.
• Ensure the endpoint correctly validates the token and returns user information.
• Add unit tests to ensure the reliability of the authentication system.

Implemented urbanagface next.js webapp, to do:

• Test Login Functionality: Verify that the login functionality works correctly by authenticating with Firebase and fetching user-specific data (ensure endpoints functioning properly)
