This is the starter template for the final assessment project for Udacity's React Fundamentals course. The goal of this template is to save you time by providing a static example of the CSS and HTML markup that may be used, but without any of the React code that is needed to complete the project. If you choose to start with this template, your job will be to add interactivity to the app by refactoring the static code in this template.

Of course, you are free to start this project from scratch if you wish! Just be sure to use Create React App to bootstrap the project.

To get started developing right away:

• install all project dependencies with npm install
• start the development server with npm start

Remember that good React design practice is to create new JS files for each component and use import/require statements to include them where they are needed.

To simplify your development process, we've provided a backend server for you to develop against. The provided file BooksAPI.js contains the methods you will need to perform necessary operations on the backend:

• getAll
• update
• search

Method Signature:

getAll()

• Returns a Promise which resolves to a JSON object containing a collection of book objects.
• This collection represents the books currently in the bookshelves in your app.

Method Signature:

update(book, shelf)

• book: <Object> containing at minimum an id attribute
• shelf: <String> contains one of ["wantToRead", "currentlyReading", "read"]
• Returns a Promise which resolves to a JSON object containing the response data of the POST request

Method Signature:

search(query)

• query: <String>
• Returns a Promise which resolves to a JSON object containing a collection of a maximum of 20 book objects.
• These books do not know which shelf they are on. They are raw results only. You'll need to make sure that books have the correct state while on the search page.

The backend API uses a fixed set of cached search results and is limited to a particular set of search terms, which can be found in SEARCH_TERMS.md. That list of terms are the only terms that will work with the backend, so don't be surprised if your searches for Basket Weaving or Bubble Wrap don't come back with any results.

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App. You can find more information on how to perform common tasks here.
