A bookshelf app that allows you to select and categorize books you have read, are currently reading, or want to read. It is built using React and uses an API server hosted at https://reactnd-books-api.udacity.com
In this application, the main page 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
Each book has a control that lets you select the shelf for that book. When you select a different shelf, the book moves there. Note that the default value for the control should always be the current shelf the book is in.
The main page also has a link to /search, a search page that allows you to find books to add to your library.
The search page has a text input that may be used to find books. As the value of the text input changes, the books that match that query are displayed on the page, along with a control that lets you add the book to your library.
The search page also has a link to / (the root URL), which leads back to the main page.
When you navigate back to the main page from the search page, you should instantly see all of the selections you made on the search page in your library.

Backend Server (https://reactnd-books-api.udacity.com)
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:
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.
Method Signature:
update(book, shelf)- book:
<Object>containing at minimum anidattribute - 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
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.
The backend API uses a fixed set of cached search results and is limited to a particular set of search terms, which can be found in SEARCH_TERMS.md. That list of terms are the only terms that will work with the backend, so don't be surprised if your searches for Basket Weaving or Bubble Wrap don't come back with any results.
