Accessing follow and unfollow APIs in views

In order to access these API calls in the views, we will update api-user.js with follow and unfollow fetch methods. The follow and unfollow methods will be similar, making calls to the respective routes with the current user's ID and credentials, and the followed or unfollowed user's ID. The follow method will be as follows.

mern-social/client/user/api-user.js:

const follow = (params, credentials, followId) => {  return fetch('/api/users/follow/', {    method: 'PUT',    headers: {      'Accept': 'application/json',      'Content-Type': 'application/json',      'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + credentials.t    },    body: JSON.stringify({userId:params.userId, followId: followId})  }).then((response) => {    return response.json()
