Provides a simple API for user authentication, and chat functions.
Frontend & backend code stored here.
## Auth API Documentation
Most API functions will return JSON in the following format:
`status`: either `ok` if action succeeded, or `fail` otherwise.
`reason`: More info about why the action failed.
### Register & Login:
`POST /api/register` with JSON body values of: `name`, `pin`, `pronouns`.
Will return JSON with `status` and `reason`.
`POST /api/login` with JSON body values of: `name`, `pin`.
Will return JSON with `status` and `reason`.
Will set a private cookie named `token` which is used for authentication.
### Change User Information
User information such as name, pin, and pronouns, can be changed currently one at a time.
`POST /api/change` with JSON body values of: `name`, `changed_event`, `new_event`.
`name` the user's current username. used for authentication.
`changed_event` which event to change. value can be one of: `Name`, `Pin`, `Pronouns`.
`new_event` the new value for the changed event.
User is authenticated via token.
### Check if User is Still Logged in
Instead of having to save the pin and re-login every time to check wether they're logged in, you can just check via the token.
`GET /api/token/<name>` where `<name>` is the current username.
Will return JSON with `status` and `reason`.
### Logout
This API will remove the cookie from the client, as well as invalidating the token serverside.
`POST /api/logout` with JSON body values of: `name`.
Will use the current token as authentication.
Will return JSON with `status` and `reason`.
### Get Info About A User
This API will return info about a user on success.
`GET /api/users/<name>`
On success returns JSON in format:
```
status: ok
user:
name: user's name
pronouns: user's pronouns
role: the users role, one of either 'Normal', 'Moderator', or 'Admin'
```
eg:
```
{
status: "ok",
user: {
name: "example",
pronouns: "they/them",
role: "Normal",
},
}
```
## Chat API Documentation
`POST /api/message/send {"name":"username","body":"message body"}` Post a message with JSON body values of: `name` & `body`
Will return JSON with `status` and `reason`.
`GET /api/message/messages.json` Returns a json file of all the messages
## Chat Planning
Clientside js will register & check login of users, if login is correct will ask for a random token.
Backend will generate token, store it, and then send it to the client to set as a cookie.
Whenever user sends a message, client will send message & token and backend will check if token matches.

- [x] Basic auth API
