433: Display event publisher in event preview

[rBoost]

#433

Add publisher information under event actions and under event location for event page.

Added also a rest API client for fetching the publisher's information.
I also refactored and cleaned a bit the event page/event details code.

Okay, so apparently a new HTTP API client (axios) was added here. What is the use case, i.e. what are the advantages of adding a new library vs. using fetch as is done with other API calls here? Do you suggest transitioning to the new library instead?

Yeah, I would suggest we change all the existing fetch requests to use axios.
I have noticed in multiple projects that it makes life easier for developers compared to fetch.

Here's a blog post about some of the pros of using axios: https://blog.logrocket.com/axios-or-fetch-api/

Okay, can you give a ballpark figure how long the change should take? Probably not too long, since the function calls are rather similar anyway, or am I mistaken?

It shouldn't take that long, few hours (2-3).

Great, I would recommend doing that sooner rather than later, otherwise it is forgotten and we end up with competing ways to call the API in the UI 👍

I made a new issue for the other API calls, #466
