Make PeopleDepot locally usable for VRMS development

[fyliu]

Dependency

• Epic: Permissions implementation #148

Overview

This is a discussion on what's needed for PeopleDepot to be locally usable for VRMS development. Both VRMS and PeopleDepot can run inside containers and we would create a new docker-compose.yml to start all the relevant containers and connect them. There are dependencies

Action Items

• Generate API client library for typescript and set up gh-workflow to regenerate it on PR merge to main (see guide in Resources). No gh automation yet.
• Write very simple react client to show how the API client library works
  • create a new user (cognito user from local frontend) and able to give it admin permission (via django admin for now since the frontend is not built for it yet)
  • create a project and able to assign users to it
• Documentation, especially a guide explaining how to setup and use the client library
