Search google books and save books to list.
The Google Book Search is an application that permits user to search for books found via the Google Books API. When the resulting search results are displayed, the user can click a View button to get information on book at google books. When the Save button is clicked, the user is able to save that particular book to a Saved Books list. To prevent the user from adding the same book multiple times to their saved list, clicking the Save button also removes that book from the search results list. Via the Saved Books menu option, the user can then display a list of their saved books. Each book can either be viewed at Google Books or can be deleted from the list.
This application was built using React and utilizes component state and context. It also uses mongoose with Atlas database when deployed at Heroku.
