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:

from sanic import Sanic
from reactpy import component
from reactpy.backend.sanic import configure, Options
from reactpy.backend.utils import SessionManager, SessionState

poor_mans_db = {}

async def create_session_state():
    id = ...
    poor_mans_db[id] = state = SessionState(
        id=id,
        value=...,
        expiry_date=...,
    )
    return state

async def read_session_state(id):
    return poor_mans_db.get(id)

async def update_session_state(state):
    poor_mans_db[state.id] = state

session_manager = SessionManager(
    create=create_session_state,
    read=read_session_state,    
    update=update_session_state,
)

@component
def MyComponent():
    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.
