Endpoint, Token, Cert Path, and Cert Key Storage for CLI Tool

[tolgaOzen]

Description

We need to implement a feature for storing the endpoint, token, cert path, and cert key in the CLI tool. These credentials should be retrievable from the storage for later use during the client creation process.

Location

permify-cli/internal/client/client.go

Proposed Change

Modify the New function in client.go to retrieve stored credentials. The updated function could look something like this:

func New(endpoint string) (*permify.Client, error) {
    // Retrieve credentials from storage
    // ... (code to retrieve credentials)

    client, err := permify.NewClient(
        permify.Config{
            Endpoint: endpoint,
            // Other necessary configurations
        },
        grpc.WithTransportCredentials(insecure.NewCredentials()),
    )
    return client, err
}

Additional Notes

Ensure that the credential retrieval process is secure and efficient.
Include error handling for cases where credentials are missing or incorrect.

hey @tolgaOzen , I am bit new to codebase but by storage u mean to store them in some env/yml files? or something else?

we retrive from something like this config file?? or some vaults?

[tolgaOzen]

Hello @Pavan-Nambi, by storage I mean a way to prevent users from having to repeatedly enter their credentials when connecting to the Permify API. For this, you can use the path ~/.permify/credentials on macOS and Linux, and C:\Users\USERNAME\.permify\credentials on Windows. Here, you can store the endpoint, token, certificate path, and certificate key. When user wants to communicate with Permify APIs, Permify CLI can read these details from there. I hope this is clear.

@tolgaOzen I can see that since this was created a config file has been implemented to store the endpoint, Do we just need to follow the same process for the token + cert, or is this not needed anymore?

[akhilender-bongirwar]

@tolgaOzen, is this issue still open to work?
