How does it work?

To make it easier to follow there is a page for each major step in the process:

• Index page triggers a GET request to /api/auth that triggers a redirect to Github page for authentication
  • On success Github redirects back to /auth/?code=<github auth code>
• Auth page triggers a POST request to /api/auth to exchange the github auth code for an access token
  • On success navigates to /checkout with access token as state param
• Checkout page triggers a POST request to /api/checkout creating a Stripe Checkout Session
  • On success navigates to the Checkout Sesssion URL returned from the function when on completing redirects back to /success/?sessionId=<Stripe Checkout Session ID>
• Success Page triggers a POST request to /api/checkout retreivng the Stripe Checkout Session
  • On sucess displays message returned from the function.
