What

This PR introduces mpesa-rails-express app in templates as the base template for mpesa express product for a rails app.

This templates uses ruby 3.2.2 and rails 7.1.3 as the default versions. Aside from the default gem dependencies it has 2 gem dependencies gem 'dotenv' to help load variables defined in a .env file and gem rest-client to make http requests.

The logic is defined in app/controllers/api/example_controller.rb which includes two concern files stk and callback defined under app/controllers/concerns/example/stk.rb and app/controller/concerns/exaple/callback.rb respectively.

example_controller.rb contains methods shared between all products

• load_variables - loads required values from .env file and saves them to a variable.
• generate_access_token_request, retrieve_access_token and send_access_token_request are used to send and retrieve for the tokens required for authenticating your API calls.

The concerns are defined separately to give them a single responsibility, stk.rb for stk push request and callback.rb for checking the status of the stk push.

Responses are in JSON format.
