BoobleBook CLI app

This application should allow you to:

Type in a query and display a list of 5 books matching that query.
Each item in the list should include the book's author, title, and publishing company.
A user should be able to select a book from the five displayed to save to a “Reading List”
View a “Reading List” with all the books the user has selected from their queries -- this is a local reading list and not tied to Google Books’s account features.

Getting started 🤸‍♀️

To import the project locally:

1 - In your terminal: git clone https://github.com/sarahyjja/BoobleBook.git

2 - To navigate in the folder: cd BoobleBook

3 - Install the dependencies running in your terminal: npm install

To run the project locally:

When the project is imported, open your console/terminal and start the program by writing a command with this syntax:

npm start -> the console will ask you to add a command

npm start search | npm start save | npm start list -> these are the 3 commands that gives you access to manipulate the app

npm start search <word> | npm start save <an index number> -> add a third argument to access infos

PS: To search a query with multiple words do -> npm start search <'a lot of words inside quotes'>

npm start save 3 -> That will save the item with the number 3 in your list inside your bookshelf.json file

npm start list -> That will display your reading list which is inside your bookshelf file

The project is build entirely in Vanilla Javascript.

In the project, Axios library is used with Node.js to send asynchronous HTTP request to Google Book REST web services.

The test folder contains all the tests created for this app. JEST is the testing framework in use in this app.

To run the test:

npm test -> inside your terminal/console

Local storage is only for the browser!!!
To have the possibility to save an item, like the browser, I fake a 'cache' file. This file is created every time that a search is run and save the search inside. When the app is running and the first search is done, this file will then contains 5 items due to the most recent search. Every time the command search is used, this file is overwritten by the most recent search.
I don't need API key all the time!

Local storage again! I had to find solution to manage it and I spent quite some time to really understand what I was looking for.
