🔮 This application includes two features: search and save.
After launching the application, the user will be place in the search page. This search function allows user to find results from Google Books API. The screenshot below shows the search result for keyword typescript. Each returned results are presented in a card, which contains two functions: view eBook on Google Books, or saved this book to user's personal library.
Clicking on the Saved link on the top right corner will take user to the saved page. This is user's personal library which contains all the books saved from previous searches. Each book card contains two functions as well: viewing eBook works exactly the same way, while deleting function allows user to remove the unwanted book from their library.
