How to Test

1. Run the Firestore emulator and the server.py
2. Open Postman and use the proper routes for like and follow
3. To like: Set the Method to PATCH with the route http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/users//like/ -This can be set for Posts or Recipes
4. To unlike: Set the Method to PATCH with the route http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/users//unlike/ -This can be set for Posts or Recipes
5. To follow: Set the Method to PATCH with the route http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/users//follow/ -Follow is on a toggle, so following the same user again will unfollow the user
6. Run the run_tests.py to get the test coverage
