DEV - Implement refresh token route #334
Description
Overview
The main goal of this ticket is to add a route into our backend that uses the refresh token the frontend holds to basically refresh the main access token and id token. Each of these tokens are going to be stored in the cookies of the http request to our backend. You have to set these tokens in the cookies examples of setting the tokens can be found in the auth.controller.ts under the login route.
If any of this is confusing hopefully here are some resources that can make things more clear.
