MyReads is an online book tracking web application that allows you to select and categorize books you have read, are currently reading, or want to read.
“It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.” ― Oscar Wilde
In this application, the main page displays a list of "shelves" (i.e. categories), each of which contains a number of books. The three shelves are:
- Continue
- Wishlist
- Finished
Each book has a control that lets you select the shelf for that book. When you select a different shelf, the book moves there. The main page also has a link to a search page that allows you to find books to add to your library.
In order to run this application on your local machine, you need Node.js and npm (comes along with Node.js) already installed. Now, open your terminal (Linux/Mac) or command prompt (Windows) and follow the below steps:
First, clone this repository by typing the following command on your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/pbiswas101/MyReads
Next, navigate to the project repository i.e. MyReads folder like so; cd MyReads
Then, type npm install which will install all the neccessary packages for running the application locally.
Finally, type npm start which will automatically open the application on your default browser. Otherwise, you can navigate to localhost:3000 for running it on a different browser!
The user interface for MyReads is implemented with the help of React library.
