MyLibrary 📚

MyLibrary is a modern and user-friendly library management web application built with React.js, Vite, Tailwind CSS, and powered by the Google API for fetching book data. It also incorporates Auth0 for secure authentication and session management, Font Awesome icons for styling, Axios for API calls, React Infinite Scroll for lazy loading, Toastify for notification messages, and react-autocomplete for search suggestions.

🚨 Important Note:

We are currently in the process of transitioning our authentication provider to Firebase. Please refer to the firebase branch for the latest updates and instructions related to Firebase authentication.

Configuration - Setting Up API Keys 🛠️

To use certain features of the MyLibrary project, you'll need to configure the following API keys:

1. 📚 Google Books API Key: This key is required to fetch book information from Google Books API.

2. 🔐 Auth0 Domain and Client ID: These are required for authentication and user management.

Follow these steps to set up the API keys:

1. Google Books API Key

To obtain a Google Books API Key:

1. 🌐 Visit the Google Cloud Console.
2. 🏗️ Create a new project if you haven't already.
3. 🛠️ Navigate to the "APIs & Services" > "Credentials" section.
4. ➕ Click on "Create Credentials" and select "API Key."
5. 📋 Copy the generated API key.

2. Auth0 Domain and Client ID

To obtain Auth0 credentials:

1. 🌐 Visit Auth0 and sign in or create an account.
2. 🏗️ Create a new application or use an existing one.
3. ⚙️ Navigate to the "Settings" of your Auth0 application.
4. 📋 Find and copy the "Domain" and "Client ID."

3. Create a .env File

Once you have obtained the necessary API keys, create a .env file in the project root directory (if it doesn't already exist) and add the following environment variables with your API keys:

VITE_REACT_APP_GOOGLEBOOK_API_KEY=YOUR_GOOGLEBOOK_API_KEY
VITE_REACT_APP_AUTH0_DOMAIN=YOUR_AUTH0_DOMAIN
VITE_REACT_APP_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID=YOUR_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID

Replace YOUR_GOOGLEBOOK_API_KEY, YOUR_AUTH0_DOMAIN, and YOUR_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID with the respective values you obtained from Google and Auth0.

Make sure to keep your .env file secure and do not share your API keys publicly.

Now, you have successfully configured the required API keys for the MyLibrary project. You can start using these keys in your code to access Google Books API and authenticate with Auth0.
