## Summary

This plugin provides Authentication middleware for the Reaction API.

Utils included in this plugin help connect the Account-js library and the Reaction API via an Auth Token.

### How it works

This plugin registers the schema and resolvers that are required by account-js.

Whenever a header with name `Authorization` is present in the request, this plugin uses account-js to get the user for that token. Then the user is attached to the `req` object.

Also on each request, `accountsGraphQL.context` is called so that it can pass the `user` to the "internal context" of account-js.

### Supported actions

1. Signup
2. Login
3. Change Password
4. Forgot Password - A email is sent with a reset token url of the form `https://<storefront-url>/?resetToken=<token>`
