Codices

This is a small WEB based platform for managing personal book collections and libraries. It is meant to be used only for small, personal, libraries and does not provide any of the standard features of a full library management platform.

With Codices you'll be able to manage your books, their collections and series they're part of. Though not specifically made for eBooks, you may be able to use it to manage your eBook collection.

Codices also features a companion APP (still in development), for both Android and iOS that offers access to the existing API.

NOTICE: This project, along with the Books Android APP, is being used as part of the course Acesso Móvel a Sistemas de Informação, therefore it will have some features needed in the course and the APP.

Codices application

Codices is the name of the platform comprised of a backend/web application that allows managing books and their general metadata, a REST API that allows access to the platform's features through a JSON based interface and a pair of mobile applications that consume the API.

The main application, and the focus for most users, will be the WEB backend. If you want, you can use the WEB version and ignore the REST API.

REST API

The REST API is also part of the Codices platform and will always be present, though it may not be used. At some future version I may add an option to disable or hide the API. For now, if you wish to disable it, you need to remove de index.php file in the public/rest directory.

Credits

To create the layout and general look I started with a modified version of the Bootflat-Admin template, that is also based in Bootflat. These projects where the base of the admin/backend user interface and can be found at https://github.com/silverbux/bootflat-admin and http://bootflat.github.io.
