Creating users via the API

We will replace our synchronous createUser action creator with an asynchronous action creator that sends a request to the API. Instead of returning the action object, we will use the thunkCreator utility function we created earlier. We are now going to define the createUser action creator:

1. We start by turning our CREATE_USER action type into three action types. Edit src/actionTypes.js; find the following line:

export const CREATE_USER = 'CREATE_USER'

Replace it with these three action types:

export const CREATE_USER_REQUEST = 'CREATE_USER_REQUEST'export const CREATE_USER_SUCCESS = 'CREATE_USER_SUCCESS'export const CREATE_USER_FAILURE = 'CREATE_USER_FAILURE'

2. Then, we import the new action types in src/actions/users.js ...
