README

Books PWA

Books is a simple Google Books PWA. It uses Google Books API to search for books and Embedded Viewer API to display book content.

Additionally it uses OAuth 2.0 authorization to retrieve a listing of the Favorites on the authenticated user's bookshelf. As well as add/remove favorite on the authenticated user's bookshelf.

The app is built using PWA Starter Kit. Using the starter-template as the starting point and the wiki for configuring and personalizing.

Features/highlights

• Show a basic search-list-detail flow.
• Use fetch to send request to Google Books API.
• Sign-in to Google account using Google Sign-In Client API
• OAuth 2.0 authorization to access Google APIs via Google API Client Library
• Display offline UI when fetch returns failure while offline.
• And once it comes back online, automatically re-fetch and update the page.
• Uses the SpeechRecognition API to search by voice.
• Shimmer placeholder while content is loading.
  
• Update the browser URL programmatically without causing page reload. In the app, we want to append query param to the URL when the search input?s value is committed.
• Scroll to top on page change.
• <book-rating>: Simple rating element.
• <book-image>: Basic image element which fades in when the image is loaded. Also has a placeholder that can be used to put a base64 encoded data URL to create the ?blur up? effect.
• <book-input-decorator>: Simple input decorator element in which the input's underline animates when the input is focused.
