To Do: Search Page and Follow a User feature (Core)

[henrylao]

Overview

The goal is to develop a search page in which a User can apply a keyword search for other Users to follow. The follow feature is needed and needs to be handled in the backend.

Core

• [x] Following a User is reflected in the backend
• [x] Unfollowing a User is reflected in the backend
• [x] Development of Search Page -- specifically a recycler view of users to follow
• Development in the User delegate model
  • [x] Implementation for adding a follower
  • [x] Implementation for removing a follower

Known issues:

• toggling the follow button does not actually follow the user
• toggling the search button does not actually perform a search
• toggling the search button should not query existing users already found

Fixed issues:

• User delegate model ability to add a follower
• Configuration in the backend for the User following field to use an array of Strings (objectId) rather than an array of pointers
• Ability to toggle follow and unfollow for multiple Users

Existing Issues:

• Inability to unfollow
• Inability to perform keyword search in EditText box
