authentication #15

Open hxrts opened 6 years ago

hxrts commented 6 years ago

Many tools now in the pipeline would benefit from having user credentials, as described in the Are.na docs. Inclusion of arena.js into the Toolkit is up for consideration, here, however the package does not currently implement the Are.na authentication procedure.

We could potentially extend @ivangreene's package to include auth, or work with him to do so. Alternatively, we could create a module specifically for this purpose.

Another consideration is whether each tool should be authenticated separately, or if we want to authenticate once, then either restrict auth access per-tool or give all tools auth access and call it a day.

Always open to pull requests :) If anyone wants to add support for the full process of gaining authentication, or sometime in the near future I may work on that myself

@ivangreene I'm now trying to find a workable webpack config and then adding arena.js. After that there are a few things that will make the toolkit easier to work with for tool developers, namely tool-specific configuration. So that may take some time, but after I'd like to have Auth. It would be amazing if you were able to start on something, any work will be put to good use!!
