Backend Server

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

getAll

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.

update

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

search

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.
