BOOKSEARCH-UI

This is a small React project that makes use of the Google Books API to get a particular book using volumeId.

Overview

The project has the following Routes:

/ - Users can sign in with Google on this page
/search - Users can search a book by its title and get a list of results from the Google books API
/search/:id - Users can retreive book details based on id which is unique for every book in the Google Books API
/api/history - Users can see the history of their searches stored in the MongoDB database.

Important points:

Users need to be signed in with Google to access the search and api routes
The queries are stored in the MongoDB database once every 5 searches
