Integrate Plaid Link into App #9

Closed jgrimes86 closed 7 months ago

jgrimes86 commented 7 months ago

I've gotten a Plaid Link integration working in the plaid-link-no-modal branch. Plaid Link is on its own frontend route, '/link', and doesn't redirect anywhere after an access token is created.

I think the next step is to automatically pull bank transfer info from the account that the user just linked. Also, we probably need to save the access token (encrypted with bcrypt or some similar security?) for a user's bank account so it can be used in the future to get updates to their transfers.

Account key, plaid item id, and transactions are being saved in the database.

Need to encrypt data.
