tinylibrary is a simple web app for managing small libraries.

• Add new books: just enter the ISBN, and it will auto-populate information from Google Books API including title, author, description, and cover image.
• Check out and return books to lenders

From the root of this repo:

1. Make a virtual environment using requirements.txt
2. Activate the virtual environment: source activate env/bin/activate
3. Run the app: python tinylibrary/app.py

For playing on the REPL while debugging or adding new features, use ipython -i console_helper.py to conveniently have an app context.

The local development version uses a sqlite3 database created at /tmp/tinylibrary.db. The admin account is admin@admin.com and the password is whyyoumakeusread.

The default books added don't use the Google Books API so they're ugly entries. Toss a few real books in there, like 9781491912768 (Advanced Analytics with Spark :p )

• Admin control of students and rooms
• Do not allow books with no title
• Watch out for users quickly adding without letting Google Books info populate - you'd get no title, just ISBN. ("Do not allow books with no title" helps with this...)
• Test on mobile
• Let Admin DELETE book
• Control cover image size in /books/ - it's rather chaotic
