Add user status to app context schema #599

Closed i-like-robots closed 5 years ago

i-like-robots commented 5 years ago

In n-ui we surfaced the user status (logged in or anonymous) via a data attribute on the document element.

In Page Kit we removed these data attributes in favour of a defined "app context" (#340) which can be used by ads, tracking, and other client-side code.

However, the schema does not currently include any properties for sharing the user status so we need to define one.

Suggestions for property definitions:

isLoggedIn: <boolean> and isLoggedOut: <boolean> (as per the anon middleware implemented by n-express)
userIsLoggedIn: <boolean>
userStatus: enum<anon|loggedin|string>
