This is a ReactJS project made in compliance as final assessment project for Udacity's React Fundamentals course. The goal of this project is to allow students to demonstrate one's grasp on the use of React library based on the provided course by Udacity.
The main task of this React project are the following:
1. Display books on the main page based on three categories or shelves. namely, Currently Reading, Want to Read and Read.
2. Users can move books betwen shelves.
3. Users can search from the library for book(s) he/she wants to move to the shelves.
4. Once selected from library it is automatically displayed in the main UI without the need for refresh.
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 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)
- 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.
