Token-based workflow

[yordis]

As a user, I should be able to initialize the authentication workflow using a token.

SPAs, and mobile applications initialize the authentication workflow in the client. The workflow will give you the authentication token that you should be able to use in the backend for getting the user data as the second part of the Ueberauth workflow is doing today.

Proposal

The Ueberauth API should allow the user to initialize the second step of the workflow.

Notes

It shouldn't rely on Plug.Conn since applications with GraphQL or any other non-HTTP based protocol wouldn't be able to use it.

Related to #20 #50 please read more details from those threads.

ueberauth_token does this I think. This is an example provider.
It's a long while since I've been developing on that lib though.

[yordis]

@stephenmoloney that is the next goal for Ueberauth. It seems that you already did it so if you have any feedbacks we are welcoming to it.

I'd need to revisit this topic again to give good feedback. Let's see how things go, just not much time for foreseeable future...

Had this topic evolved since then? Is there some WIP that I could help with?

[yordis]

@gbrlcustodio I think this branch https://github.com/ueberauth/ueberauth/tree/v1_proposal was working on it but didn't finish the changes.

If you want to make a proposal go for it.

@yordis A point that has not been considered, google forces you to redirect link in it's config.

I need your help

Has there been any progress on this? I'd be happy to help with this, but would need some direction
