Google Books React
My first full stack React application :)
site: https://radiant-refuge-63725.herokuapp.com/
3/11/2020 Version 1
Basic Use
You can search Google Books API for books. Clicking "save book" will save a book (not working completely yet, adds a test filler information). Books can also be viewed on Google Books by clicking "view". You can add books by navigating to the "Saved" page and filling in the form, then clicking "Submit". Books can be deleted from the database by clicking "delete book from database".
