Functionality (requirements)

In this application, the main page(the root URL)displays a list of "shelves" (i.e. categories), each of which contains a number of books. The three shelves are:

• Currently Reading
• Want to Read
• Read

When you select a different shelf, the book moves there. In search page(/search), you can get the list of books as by your input keywords.

Additional Functionality

Using Redux and Redux-Saga

To use redux and redux-saga is easier to manage state and asynchronous things, more efficient to execute, simple to test, and better at handling failure.

Throttling

Throttling of 300ms is applied to support live search. If not so, ajax call is too frequent.

Autocomplete

This API allows users to use their restricted search keywords. react-autosuggest is added to search a book easily.

Optimistic Update

When fetching book list after changing a book shelf, it upates local state before getting a response to show UI changes immediately.

Deployment

This App is deployed on Netlify
