Greenhouse Library Sort

All library books displayed with their information (currently with dummy images) if nothing is entered in search bar.
By searching "harry potter," only books containing that String will be displayed.

Inspiration

We love books! Wooo

What it does

Users can input book titles and/or authors and our project will filter out matching searches. Each result will display the book title, author, grade level, and its corresponding ISBN number.

How we built it

We converted the excel sheet into a dictionary and utilized the Selenium library to search Lexile.com. For each book, we added new categories into a json file. Using react, we created a webpage containing book information.

Challenges we ran into

Finding a consistent ISBN number for some books was difficult because the Google API we had originally planned to use did not match the URL for the Lexile scores. It was also our first time using React, so setting up the library and figuring out its features were time-consuming tasks.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We went out of our comfort zones and learned completely unfamiliar technologies and languages.

What we learned

We learned to create one cohesive web page by separating into distinct roles and integrating everybody's code at the end. This gave us some insight to how the design process in an industry job may work.
