Description

Desktop application built with JavaFX and MySQL designed to manage all the functions of a library. It helps the librarian to maintain the database of new books and borrowed books along with their due dates. It tracks the records of the number of books in the library, how many books are issued, how many books have been returned or renewed.

Usage

  • Welcome Page :  This is the First Page that appears when you enter the website 👇


Note :  If you choose to login as an admin, you will be redirected to the Admin Login Page


Note :  If you choose to login as a member, you will be redirected to the Member Login Page


Note :  If you type a username that does not exist in the database, an Validation Message will appear


Note :  Same thing about validation for the Password Field


  • Reserve Book Page :  The book reservation scenario is applied when there is currently no copy of the book that the customer wants in the library. Therefore, he reserves the first copy that is returned to the library. To start the booking process, we must first Check Whether We Have An Account For This Customer or not, and we check this by entering the phone number


Note :  If the Phone Number Does Not Exist in the database, you will be automatically redirected to the add customer page


Note :  After making sure that our client has an account in the database, we can Reserve The Book for him and the date he must come to receive the book will be automatically calculated and shown on the screen


  • Add Category Page :  You can create a category with the Name You Want, provided it is not already in the database, otherwise you will receive an error message


  • Remove Category Page :  When a category is removed, All Related Books will also be removed and all borrowed and reserved information will disappear


  • Add Member Page :  You must Fill In All Fields in order to successfully add a new member (with the option to create as admin)


  • Remove Member Page :  As an admin, you can Remove Any Member whenever you want, and the information related to that member will be gone


Note :  The app has more features for the member account, like borrowing a book and returning it or checking the reservation list, and for the admin account, like adding, deleting and updating books, but they are easy to use and that's why I won't show them
