- Modify the user object to contain gmail authorization information
- If the user is not authorized when they open the web app, a material UI dialog (https://material-ui.com/components/dialogs/) if the user has not connected their account with their gmail, that pops up
- The auth with gmail button will open up gmail and redirect back the React front-end
- The React front-end will send the auth token generated back
How to connect Gmail:
- https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/auth/about-auth
- https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2?hl=en_US
- Specific to web apps - https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2WebServer

One way of splitting this up:
- get the back-end working first
- then tackle the front-end
