Social Media Authentication

[adithyaakrishna]

I had this idea when I was trying to setup the Talawa-Api Server as well as the App locally.

It would take me sometime to fill in those fileds and that's when I realized we can simply the whole process by using Social Media Authentication for SignIn & SignUp based on Google/FB/Twitter

Issue related to the discussion #119

@adithyaakrishna As backend API server for Talawa is written in JS environment (Node.js), I guess this can be easily done by passport.js. Passport.js offers us around 300+ authentications strategies which can be used seamlessly in our app.

[adithyaakrishna]

Yeah, that's what I had thought of as Passport.js has prebuilt strategies

Hey @cyber-venom003, @adithyaakrishna, @yasharth291, and everyone else in this discussion. Since this issue/proposal requires changes on the back end first, can you request those changes in the backend first, then once they're implemented, we can continue discussing the implementation on the front end?

Sure @DeltaHarbinger . I guess we should discuss it in #talwa-api repo discussions.
