Random book data generation and persistence, exposed over a REST API

Technical Test: Books API

You probably want to check out the UI code, and deployed app first. There you'll find much more comprehensive documentation. This was before monorepos were cool, okay?!

Purpose

This is some simple code to generate and serve random book data.

Tasks

• write basic documentation
• write unit test cases
• add persistence layer
• write implementation
• deploy server to heroku
• design item icons for front-end
• create user-interface

Dependencies

• node v7.9.0
• yarn v0.23.3

NOTE: This was developed in MacOS Sierra v10.12.3 using the aforementioned versions. This may be compatible with other versions, but cannot be guaranteed.
