WORM is an bookshelf application that allows users to search for books by entering a specific query (Title, Author, Exerpt, etc). The user then submits the query, which calls upon the Google Books API that will return an array of books with the corresponding data of the book that was searched for (Title, Author, Published Date, etc.) The user will be able to see the list of books that relate to the search populate on the page.
Users can then save their favorite books to their own personal bookshelf library as well as delete them, view samples of the books if they are available, write their own comments or visit the google books link to buy the book for themselves. Also using the Google Books API there is an embedded sample reader button that shows if one is available for that particular book. Clicking on the icon will allow you to read a pre-selected portion of the book within the app.
The client is able to create their own account and sign into it using authentication and a hashed password.
The client is represented as a user who likes to read and likes to keep track of their favorite books. The client can use WORM's book search to find books they would like to read or keep track of.
Books that meet the user's search criteria will be displayed upon search.
Users can add books to their personal bookshelf library, which will be displayed in a separate page of the navigation bar.
