User Data

All user data is stored under the App.js container's state, with two fields user and isLoggedIn.

user has the following fields:

Field	Info
_id	Contains the user id, which is the primary key for associated information in the database
username	Contains username of the user (could be redundant at this point)
namefirst	First Name of User
nameLast	Last Name of User
email	Email of User
school	School of User
textbook_ids	Contains id(s) of textbook corresponding to their primary keys in the database

There is a helpful method called changeLoginStatus() in App.js which can be passed to other components/containers, requiring one parameter: login. login should be a boolean. If login is passed in as false, in addition to setting isLoggedIn to false, the user state is also wiped (set to null). Note: changeLoginStatus() does not automatically set user info if passed in as true. However there is a method addUserInfo() which updates the user state to the paramter passed in (usually from the axios request for POST /auth/login)
