This is the final assessment project for Udacity's React Fundamentals course. MyReads is a bookshelf application that allow a book reader to select and organize books by searching and categorizing his books as read, currently reading and want to read.
In your console use npm install
to install all projetct dependencies and npm start
to initiate the server.

The 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 anid
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
Method Signature:
search(query, maxResults)
- query:
<String>
- maxResults:
<Integer>
Due to the nature of the backend server, search results are capped at 20, even if this is set higher. - Returns a Promise which resolves to a JSON object containing a collection of 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 built upon MyReads Project Starter Template. The goal was to add interactivity using React. You can find more information here.
