Sign-in/Login - using google firebase

[krithika2543]

Add a feature that allows users to log in using their Google account through Firebase Authentication. This way, it will help to create more user interaction and the users can now comment and also rate the page and will be also able to interact with other readers.

Set Up Firebase Project:
Create or use an existing project in the Firebase Console.
Enable the Google sign-in method under the Authentication section in the Firebase Console.
Users click the "Login with Google" button.
The frontend handles the Google sign-in process and obtains the ID token, and sends it to the backend.
The backend verifies the ID token and manages the user session.

firebase is good but most of the people contributing here are new, so they may have problems with the apis and stuffs and we don't want to reveal those important credentials. So what if we go with basic client side authentication by using localstorage or maybe cookies. What do you guys think?

[krithika2543]

@sameer-soni Yep it makes sense. I am willing to contribute to this idea

@krithika2543 okay, assigning it to you then. Without signing in, users can also access the pages. The reason for the authentication is to have user comments, reviews and their feedbacks of places.
