The wiring will be finished when the auth class is completed
Removed the Slim Framework from the codebase and installed the latest
Laravel version to be the new foundation for the project moving forward.
Code from the old version will now be ported to the new version.
Composer package dependencies hadn't been updated in awhile, so a part
of the clean up for the php 8.1 install, that has been handled
Moment was being used to handle date formatting but it hasn't been
updated in awhile either, so I switched to Carbon which is still in
active development.
