The API's documentation and source code were thoroughly analysed to learn about the parameters that can be used and how the results of the response were formatted. It is used to get information about the book and author when the user searches a query. This web API integration is implemented using Axios Asynchronously to impose minimal load to the client.
Now for the Front-end we started with React library and built the landing page and when searched for a query we added a dynamic viewing of the books. The reason we have inclined to use React is that it is painless to create interactive UIs. Designing simple views for each state in the application and React will efficiently update and render just the right components when your data changes. CSS used for styling and decorating the User Experience even more that the Experience given by React JS.
Axios is a promise-based HTTP Client for Node.js and the browser. We have used this because it simplifies the complexity of fetching the information from the Rest API.
APIs let your product or service communicate with other products and services without having to know how they’re implemented. This is to simplify app development, saving time and money. When you’re designing new tools and products—or managing existing ones—APIs give you flexibility; simplify design, administration, and use; and provide opportunities for innovation.
Open Library is an online project intended to create "one web page for every book ever published". Implementation of web application client using the Open Library API. The Web API used extensively are search and books Web API.
A special thanks to Venmurasu team for giving us an amazing opportunity to work with this wonderful API.
The Application was built using the following technologies
- OpenLibrary Web API
- React JS
- HTML
- CSS
- Axios
To get a local copy up and running follow these simple example steps or rev up the demo website.
- npm
npm install npm@latest -g
- Clone the repo
git clone [email protected]:HarihararamSriram/vpt-2022-dec-IT_G1Team.git
- Install NPM packages
npm install
- Run the local server
npm start
. The books can be retrieved using a query. . The books can be retrieved using keywords. . The books can be retrieved using Author name. . The books when clicked gives access to properties like recent publication, genre, etc.
For more examples, please use the demo or refer to the API's documentation as the project is in direct implementation of a client for the search and books API
