cheerworld/MyReadsProject

This is a Project that used React. I am building a book list app that has 3 shelves, books that you are currently reading, books that you want to read and books that you read. You can move your books around from shelf to shelf. You can search for books in the search page and add books to your shelves. There is a backend server file provided for you to get books you want to add to your shelves. You can check out SEARCH_TERMS.md to find out the terms you can search for the books.

Backend Server

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
• update
• search

getAll

Method Signature:

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

Method Signature:

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

Method Signature:

search(query)

• query: <String>
• Returns a Promise which resolves to a JSON object containing a collection of a maximum of 20 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.

Create React App

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