Blind Date with a Book

License: MIT

Summary

I created this project as a first introduction to the Google Books API. Rather than do a traditional search, I chose to make it into a 'Blind Date', where the initial search only returns the book cover, genre, and number of pages. Then, if the user is interested in one or more of the books, they can hover over the book card to see the title and author revealed. From this view they can also connect to Google Books directly to see a preview of the book.

Languages and Frameworks

Getting Started

From the command prompt of your choice, navigate to the book_finder folder. To install dependencies run yarn or npm install. Once the dependencies have loaded, type yarn start or npm start to run the program locally on your computer.

Use Online

This porgram is also deployed on Netlify and can be accessed on any internet browser here

Input Data

This program does a general search of the Google Books API. A user can enter a title, author, or keyword(s) into the search box.

Do you need some ideas? Try one of these:

  • Anne of Green Gables (title)
  • candy (keyword)
  • Lisa (hey, that's me)
  • NK Jemisin (author)
