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

Environment variables
