Support for user profile.

[dromerolovo]

• Make appropriate changes in Domain to support profile.
  Keep in mind that there are two types of profile: Admins and Moderators, one approach to handle this is creating an enum and field, like Role { admin, moderator }
• Create a Bloc, states and events to handle Profile in the application.
  The reason for this is to allow the app to respond to the user's role. For example, if the user is a moderator, options to invite moderators or promote them should not appear. One approach is to listen to AuthBloc user stream.
• Implement invitation modal / invitation flow #55 (This could be optional)
• Change UI to be dynamic according to the user profile. #56

Regarding #56, I'm noticing the user profiles on Firebase don't necessarily have a name set for them. Do we want to display the email instead? Or should we add editing of user profiles in the future?

[dromerolovo]

What if we parse the username of the email. E.g diego@collaction.org. So the "name" would be diego. And we format the name with titleCase ?

We can do that for the time being. Correct me if I'm wrong @Xazin, but the goal is to pull user profiles from the API, and get names from there, which likely means we'll need a ProfileRepository to manage that. Moreover, extra checks will be needed to ensure only users with existing profiles can be invited as moderators?

1. A profile is something generic, it consists only of information about a user.

2. Any user, even if they do not exist already, can be invited. (We can setup some "link to CollAction user")

3. We need a way to Manage Users, I believe this might have been part of the original intent of this issue. That should be a separate issue.

4. We can alter the flow, such that new moderators can enter first and last name, and choose or upload an avatar.

To clarify, when a user joins/creates a profile in the app, is a Firebase user created for them automatically? Or are they completely separate?

They are completely decoupled.

The firebase user comes first, how would a user have a profile without being able to sign in.
