MyReads Project

This is my project submission for Udacity's React Fundamentals course.

Running

To run the project:

• install all project dependencies with npm install or yarn install
• start the development server with npm start or yarn start

Backend Server

To simplify the development process, Udacity provided a backend server to develop against. The provided file BooksAPI.js contains the methods needed to perform necessary operations on the backend:

• getAll
• update
• search

getAll

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.

update

Method Signature:

update(book, shelf)

• book: <Object> containing at minimum an id 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

search

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.

Important

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.
