This is the completed MyReads project for the Udacity React Developer course. All functionality required by the rubric has been added.
Main screen displaying bookshelves for Currently reading, Want to read, and Read books. Search screen to find new books and add new books to shelves. A control on each book, on any screen, that allows for setting the book shelf.
To get the app started all you need to do is:
- install all project dependencies with
npm install - start the development server with
npm start
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 anidattribute - 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, maxResults)- query:
<String> - maxResults:
<Integer>Due to the nature of the backend server, search results are capped at 20, even if this is set higher. - Returns a Promise which resolves to a JSON object containing a collection of 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.
