• We only want to show the messages from our messages array that match the ID from the URL parameters
• We want to show the author email at the top of page, before any other messages

Firstly, in App.js, convert the UserContainer route to use the render prop, the same as ChatContainer, and pass in the following props:

<Route
  path="/users/:id"
  render={({ history, match }) => (

      messages={this.state.messages}
      messagesLoaded={this.state.messagesLoaded}
      userID={match.params.id}
