idea on how sessions might be implemented

[rmorshea]

Description

A draft of what session management might look like in ReactPy based on: https://github.com/phihos/idom-auth-example-sanic

Usage might look like:

fromsanicimportSanicfromreactpyimportcomponentfromreactpy.backend.sanicimportconfigure, Optionsfromreactpy.backend.utilsimportSessionManager, SessionStatepoor_mans_db= {}
asyncdefcreate_session_state():
id= ...
poor_mans_db[id] =state=SessionState(
id=id,
value=...,
expiry_date=...,
)
returnstateasyncdefread_session_state(id):
returnpoor_mans_db.get(id)
asyncdefupdate_session_state(state):
poor_mans_db[state.id] =statesession_manager=SessionManager(
create=create_session_state,
read=read_session_state, update=update_session_state,
)
@componentdefMyComponent():
session=session_manager.use_context()
app=Sanic()
configure(app, MyComponent, Optiona(session_manager=session_manager)

I'll help brainstorm the interface for this when the time comes around.

I would suggest this as a v2 task.
