Flush out CRUD operations for Stat Entries, Users, Day

[ggneilc]

I know how to do CRUD operations with Users, but we need special ones for Linking each stat entry to a particular day, as well as handling days.

• Create/Update/Get Stat entries
• Create new Day and set to all users current day every midnight
• Move old current_day into past_days
• Update/Get days (users should not be able to create days, only add (update) to them and see their info)

Ok, so to start: We need a way to authenticate a user and enables sessions, so that we can continually retrieve the signed in users information. So right now we will work towards narrowing our functions down:

For the User

• Sign up : creates a user
• Login : Stores the user info in the current session
• Get user : retrieves the current user in sessions information (settings screen)
• Update User: Changes the current user's information (actually changing settings)
• Delete User : deletes the user in the current session

To accomplish this, we are going to use the gorilla library and their sessions package.

current dilemma: implementing gorilla library uses the standard go 'net/http' library which isn't directly compatible with gofibers Fasthttp. We have two options:

• Install another library for casting Fasthttp to http and vice versa
• Use gofibers cookie manager which is less robust than gorilla

I will decide what to use after trying to find a video of gorilla/gofiber working together to see how much effort/overhead it is

turns out fiber just also implements sessions and i didn't see it initially on their documentation...
