This is a small reading bookshelf project that uses React. The user has the ability to add books to 3 different virtual bookshelfs which are the following:
- Currently Reading: the book is currently being read by the user
- Want To Read: the book is in the user's wishlish
- Read: the book has been read by the user
Moreover, there is also the not displayed none shelf, which is a catch-all shelf for any book that is not in the three categories above. Naturally, the user is able to move books from one bookshelf to another.
Finally, the user has the ability to search for books and add them to one of their virtual bookshelfs.
To get started developing right away:
- install all project dependencies with
npm install - start the development server with
npm start

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:
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.
Method Signature:
update(book, shelf)- book:
<Object>containing at minimum anidattribute - 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
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.
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.
This repository is the starter code for all Udacity students. Therefore, we most likely will not accept pull requests.
