Task

1. Explore

Take some time to explore the starting code. You should find an actions file and a reducer for authentication. You should also find new forms for login and signup.

2. Posting Books and Authors

Right now the book and author posting actions will always fail. That's because we have to be logged in with a valid token to use them. Implement login and signup to get them to work again.

1. Complete the reducer in reducers/user.js.
2. Complete the login and signup actions in actions/authentication.js.
   Don't forget to set the Authentication header for axios.
   The endpoints in the backend are:
   • POST to https://the-index-api.herokuapp.com/login/
   • POST to https://the-index-api.herokuapp.com/signup/
3. Connect these actions to the login and signup forms.
4. Create an account and log in. The posting forms should now work again.

3. Logout

1. If the user is logged in, the login and signup buttons in the Sidebar should be replaced with a logout button that includes the username.
2. This button should log the user out (surprise!)

4. UX Features

1. The "add author" card should only be visible for logged in users.
2. The "add new book" button should only be visible for logged in users.
3. Only users who are not logged in should be able to go to /login and /signup. Users who are already logged in should be redirected to the home page.
4. Login should be persistent. If I log in and then refresh the page, I should still be logged in!
