Backend Server

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

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.

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

search(query, maxResults)

• query: <String>
• maxResults: <Integer> Due to the nature of the backend server, search results are capped at 20, even if this is set higher. Which returns a Promise which resolves to a JSON object containing a collection of 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.
