Avoid initial REST API requests when the component first mounts #59

Closed johnbillion closed 3 years ago

johnbillion commented 3 years ago

When the component first mounts, and every time it remounts without the user list having been changed, we can pull the current list of user obects from the _embedded attribute of the post instead of via the REST API. This will save REST API requests.

Need to add support for embedding the user objects when the _embed query parameter is used.

This is actually needed for lower level users who cannot list users via the REST API.

The initial post loaded on the block editing screen (via createPreloadingMiddleware()) doesn't use _embed like I thought it did.
