This project is my submission for Udacity's React Fundamentals course. I choose to fork the starter template since my goal was just to apply the react specific knowledge i get from the course and try to add drag and drop as a feature tha goes beyond the minimum requirements of the project.

You can check the Demo on heroku

Or you can run locally on your machine:

Clone the project or download as .zip:

git clone https://github.com/MDemetrio/reactnd-project-myreads-starter.git

This project dependencies are managed by npm that is included in node.js.

Once npm is installed in your machine, cd into the project directory and:

Run npm install to install project dependencies, then

Run npm start to start the local dev server.

Spotlight

I used React DnD to implement book dragging to shelves. It is really easy to understand its basics once you understand that its all about data, it got me excited about react capabilities and i learned a lot from it.

Starter template readme below

This is the starter template for the final assessment project for Udacity's React Fundamentals course, developed by React Training. The goal of this template is to save you time by providing a static example of the CSS and HTML markup that may be used, but without any of the React code that is needed to complete the project. If you choose to start with this template, your job will be to add interactivity to the app by refactoring the static code in this template.

Of course, you are free to start this project from scratch if you wish! Just be sure to use Create React App to bootstrap the project.

What You're Getting

+--public/    
 |-- index.html - DO NOT MODIFY
 |-- favicon.ico - React Icon, You may change if you wish.
+-- src/
 +-- icons/ - Helpful images for your app. Use at your discretion.
  |-- add.svg
  |-- arrow-back.svg
  |-- arrow-drop-down.svg
 |-- App.js - This is the root of your app. Contains static HTML right now.
 |-- App.css - Styles for your app. Feel free to customize this as you desire.
 |-- App.test.js - Used for testing. Provided with Create React App. 
 Testing is encouraged, but not required.
 |-- BooksAPI.js - A JavaScript API for the provided Udacity backend. 
 Instructions for the methods are below.
 |-- index.js - You should not need to modify this file. It is used for DOM rendering only.
 |-- index.css - Global styles. You probably won't need to change anything here.
|-- .gitignore 
|-- CONTRIBUTING.MD - Information about contributing to this repo. 
TL;DR - Fork and clone your own version of this to use it.
|-- README.MD - This README file.
|-- SEARCH_TERMS.md - The whitelisted short collection of available search terms 
for you to use with your app.
|-- package.json - npm package manager file. It's unlikely that you'll need to modify this.

Remember that good React design practice is to create new JS files for each component and use import/require statements to include them where they are needed.

Backend Server

To simplify your development process, we've provided a backend server for you to develop against. The provided file BooksAPI.js contains the methods you will need to perform necessary operations on the backend:

`getAll()`

Returns a Promise which resolves to a JSON object containing a collection of book objects.
This collection represents the books currently in the bookshelves in your app.

`update(book, shelf)`

book: <Object> containing at minimum an id attribute
shelf: <String> contains one of ["wantToRead", "currentlyReading", "read"]
Returns a Promise which resolves to a JSON object containing the response data of the POST request

`search(query, maxResults)`

query: <String>
maxResults: <Integer> Due to the nature of the backend server, search results are capped at 20, even if this is set higher.
Returns a Promise which resolves to a JSON object containing a collection of book objects.
These books do not know which shelf they are on. They are raw results only. You'll need to make sure that books have the correct state while on the search page.

Important

The backend API uses a fixed set of cached search results and is limited to a particular set of search terms, which can be found in SEARCH_TERMS.md. That list of terms are the only terms that will work with the backend, so don't be surprised if your searches for Basket Weaving or Bubble Wrap don't come back with any results.

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App. You can find more information on how to perform common tasks here.
