Task Group: 9.0 BFF for Authentication-Frontend

[simen-rekkedal]

Description

The Authentication-Frontend react SPA needs a backend for frontend (BFF) as an intermediator between the rest of the Altinn APIs, to enable flexibility and isolate those APIs from the frontend concerns.

The extensive data models in the original APIs will be re-mapped to suitable DTOs for the frontend.

Authentication via ID-porten will be handled in a HomeController on the public facing URL: to be decided.

A set of APIs with suitable DTOs for the SPA will be exposed only for the SPA (with tokens) which hold remapped data from the original APIs deeper inside Altinn. This enables a high degree of customizability.
