Introduction

The Book Management Web Application is a user-friendly platform for organizing and managing a collection of books. It provides essential features for adding, editing, removing, and paginating books in the database. This application is designed to simplify the process of cataloging and maintaining a digital library.

Features

  1. Pagination: The application uses pagination to display a limited number of books (10 per page) at a time, making it easier for users to navigate through a large collection.

  2. Add New Books: Users can add new books to the database by providing details such as title, author, genre, and description. These new additions are seamlessly integrated into the existing library.

  3. Edit Book Details: Edit any book's details, including its title, author, genre, or description. This feature ensures that your book collection remains up-to-date with accurate information.

  4. Remove Books: Remove books from the collection when they are no longer needed or have been duplicated. The application ensures smooth removal without affecting other entries.

Book Management API with Express.js (Backend)

This is a simple Express.js application that serves as a backend API for managing a collection of books. It provides endpoints for retrieving, adding, updating, and deleting books in a database. The API is designed to be used in conjunction with a front-end application for a book management system.

Getting Started

To use this API, follow these steps:

  1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

    git clone https://github.com/yourusername/book-management-api.git

  2. Navigate to the project directory:

    cd book-management-api

  3. Install the required dependencies:

    npm install

  4. Start the server:

    npm start

The API will be running at http://localhost:8080.
