Automatically use new token

[harrisonhjones]

Allow users to automatically grab a new access token and set that as their active token.

Flow would be something like this:
$obj->setAuth($email, $password);
$obj->useNewToken($clearAuth=true);

useNewToken essentially would do the following:
$token = createToken()
setToken($token)
and (if $clearAuth == true) clearAuth()

Thoughts?

Something Ive done is stored my tokens in a db.
I then retrieve the latest token by its expiry date.
if the expiry date has lapsed or is close to todays date I then generate a new one and save it in the db

Alright. Do you think it's worth it to write such a function or should we just leave it up to the user to set the auth, load a new token, and then set the new token? (If they started without a token for example)?

i recon we leave that for the dashboard.

I think this should be a connector clash and it should be stateless.
If we add dbs to it it will just raise the requirements needed to get connected to a spark core

Oh, I do agree with that. I was simply thinking about a function to make the whole get-and-use-access-token-for-this-session-only process easier. Perhaps in a separate branch.
