c1-floatr-backend's Issues

Confirm offer endpoint

• Create /loan-offer/:id/confirm
• Create custom controller function
  • Create Loan on backend
  • Transfer principle amount

Payment endpoint

• Get account for payment
• Transfer payment
• Recalculate remaining balance

Populate loaner/loanee ID with current active user

POST requests that require the current user's ID should be autopopulated on the backend and not be required to be sent from the client

Return actual user info in place of user id

Current response of loan_offer GET:

[
    {
    "_id": "593847408f888e4460b4a686",
    "loaner": "59383be88684033f23545b9e",
    "min_offer": 400,
    "max_offer": 500,
    "interest_rate": 0.5,
    "period": 3,
    "period_unit": "month",
    "__v": 0
  }
]

What the response should look like after completing this task:

[
  {
    "_id": "593847408f888e4460b4a686",
    "loaner": {
        "_id": "59383be88684033f23545b9e",
        "username": "jason",
        "first_name": "Jason",
        "last_name": "Jason",
        "rating": 5,
        "avatar_url": "http://someurl.com/somepicture.jpg"
      },
    "min_offer": 400,
    "max_offer": 500,
    "interest_rate": 0.5,
    "period": 3,
    "period_unit": "month",
    "__v": 0
  }
]

This should happen anywhere a User ID is currently being returned by itself (loan offer, loan request, loan, payment).
