CLIENT - Validate inputs & create request for login #7
Description
Problem Description
When a user wants to log in, the user has to click on the "Log in" button displayed on the Sign Up View. The email address and password input from the user has to be validated in the client.
If the input meets the acceptance criteria, the data will be sent to the server.
If any check fails, a user friendly message will be displayed in accordance with the error. As an example: If username/email address is wrong: "No account with this email exists. Try again."
