8th Light Application Coding Challenge

This command line 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' account features.

npm init to create a package.json file where we will add our dependencies used for the project
install dependencies:

npm i node-fetch for fetch calls to API (see documentation below)
npm i minimist - argument parser (see documentation below)
npm i chalk - to add some flare and color to your command line interface! (see documentation below)

create bin directory: mkdir bin
cd bin
inside bin directory, create file for the command line prompt we will be using: touch gbooks-cli
type into command line at root chmod +x bin/gbooks-cli - this is a "shebang" and will allow us to execute the commands in our command line for this application
type npm link in the root; this will "symlink the binary file to the system path, making it accessible from anywhere by running gbooks-cli " (this came from the first source listed below)

Open your command line, navigate to the folder where you would like to store this project, and type in the following to clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/t-keazirian/google-books-cli.git

See below for detailed command line instructions...

in command line prompt, type gbooks-cli help for a list of the commands this application uses and how to use them properly

in command line prompt, type gbooks-cli search --keyword yourSearchTermHere (changing yourSearchTerm here to the book title, keyword, or author you are searching for)
if your search includes spaces, please use quotation marks

Example with One Word Search: gbooks-cli search --keyword ferrets

Example with Quotation Marks: gbooks-cli search --keyword "stephen king"

Command line will display each book's ID, title, author, and publisher
If you would like to display the Title and Description only, change the method in searchForBooks.js from searchOptions.fullSearch(data) to searchOptions.titleDescription(data) on line 41
You can also feel free to add other methods to the searchOptions object in searchForBooks.js to display different data from the API depending on your needs

locate and copy (highlight the ID and use cmd+c on Mac, ctrl+c on Windows) the id of the book you would like to save to your reading list (the id will be in your search results in blue)
in command line prompt, type gbooks-cli save --id yourBookId (changing yourBookId to the ID you have selected from the search list using cmd+v on Mac, ctrl+v on Windows to paste the id)
your new book's information will save to your reading-list.txt file
