WEAVENOTE API (& Billing)

This Rails app serves as the API for the React-based frontend for Weavenote.

Some things to note:

• Using Figaro for the ENV vars
• Auth is handled by Auth0
  • The access token is passed in each request's header, and validated against Auth0's API (although I added a 30 minute cache so it doesn't overload Auth0).
• If the port is 3001, or the subdomain is api, then only the API routes are exposed.
• Conversely, port 3002 and subdomain billing expose an Organization's billing admin.
  • In this case, the Auth0 access token is initially sent as a param and just stored as a cookie.
  • Payment are handled by Stripe.
  • Ideally the UI should be kept in React, and this API should just use Stripe's webhooks to update subscriptions, etc., but there wasn't time.
• Mail outbound (and inbound parsing) is done by SendGrid.
