No guest/my eshelf text #9

Description

@etgrieco

Feature removed in version 3, and currently uses a different configuration to specify toolbar text. It may be possible to recover this functionality by relying on the logged-in state of e-shelf versus primo.

API request: https://eshelf.library.nyu.edu/records/from/primo.json?per=all&_={ Date.now() }

// logged in user
{
  "id": 606454,
  "external_id": "dedupmrg460403937",
  "external_system": "primo",
  "user_id": 12345, ** logged in
  "tmp_user_id": null, 
  "title": "Financial economics",
  "author": "Fabozzi, Frank J; Neave, Edwin H; Zhou, Guofu, 1960-",
  "format": "pnx",
  "url": "..."
}

// temporary user
{
  "id": 606454,
  "external_id": "dedupmrg460403937",
  "external_system": "primo",
  "user_id": null, // ** not logged in
  "tmp_user_id": 12345, 
  "title": "Financial economics",
  "author": "Fabozzi, Frank J; Neave, Edwin H; Zhou, Guofu, 1960-",
  "format": "pnx",
  "url": "..."
}

Unfortunately, the eshelf API returns an empty array if there are no records, therefor losing the ability to detect the logged-in state from this data
