Library-Management-System

I created this project because of the need to have my books on the web to have access to it anytime, anywhere.

Books are grouped by fields, for example a Mathematics field with Mathematics books.

Technologies

Majorly, I used these tools because they are what I have a working knowlegde of.

Moreover, Node.js with Express.js was selected because of the ease of server-client communication, MongoDB & Mongoose for JSON like Database Management Systems, EJS for literals & templating, Lodash & Bootstrap to cut down on development time, etc.

  • NodeJS
  • ExpressJS
  • EJS
  • JavaScript
  • Lodash
  • body-parser (npm)
  • MongoDB
  • Mongoose
  • Bootstrap

  • Clone repository with the command git clone <url>
$ git clone https://github.com/efecollins/library-management-system.git
  • Run npm i in your terminal to install node_modules and all dependencies in package.json
$ npm i
  • Run nodemon in your terminal if installed to start the node server and watch for changes in index.js
$ nodemon
  • Or run node index.js to start the server if nodemon is not installed
$ node app.js
  • The following message should be logged to your console signifying success.

  • To use MongoDB with Mongoose locally, do this:
mongoose.connect("mongodb://localhost:27017/libraryDB", {useNewUrlParser: true});
