Illia-the-coder / Literature_site

This Flask web application uses a custom module to display data about authors and books. Routes include displaying index.html with current UTC date/time, author and book information based on type and grade parameters, and detailed information about a particular author or book based on provided parameters. The application runs on port 81.

📚 Book Database Python Script

The code provided is a Python script that includes two classes: BSCH and DB.

📖 BSCH Class

The BSCH class is used to access a JSON file containing data related to workbooks.

📚 DB Class

The DB class is used to access a JSON file containing data related to books and authors. The DB class has several methods that can be called to retrieve information from the JSON file.

• list_all(): Returns a formatted list of all the books and authors in the database
• get_presentation(): Returns a dictionary of author names and links to their presentations
• get_books(author): Returns a list of books written by a specific author
• get_bio(author): Returns a dictionary containing information about a specific author (such as their name and biography)
• get_content(author, name): Returns a dictionary containing information about a specific book (such as its title and content)
• get_rnd(): Returns a dictionary containing information about a randomly selected book and its author.

🌐 Flask Application

The script also includes a Flask application that can be used to serve the information retrieved by the DB class.
