Manage your library's resources with ease using this Java-based application. From adding new books to tracking borrowed items, this system simplifies library operations.\n\n---\n\n## 📌 Requirements\n\n* Java 8 or later\n* MySQL Server\n* IntelliJ IDEA or any Java IDE (optional)\n\n---\n\n## 💡 Features\n\n- **Database Design**: Designed with efficiency in mind, the database schema organizes information about books, users, and transactions.\n- **User-Friendly Interface**: A simple and intuitive user interface allows seamless interaction with the system.\n- **JDBC Connectivity**: JDBC integration facilitates smooth communication between the Java application and the database.\n- **Comprehensive Functionality**: Perform a range of tasks including adding, searching, borrowing, and returning books, with ease.\n- **Robust Error Handling**: Implemented error handling ensures the system gracefully manages exceptions during database operations.\n\n---\n\n## 📋 Table of Contents\n\n- [Database Design](#database-design)\n- [User Interface](#user-interface)\n- [JDBC Connectivity](#jdbc-connectivity)\n- [Functionality](#functionality)\n- [Error Handling](#error-handling)\n\n---\n\n## 🛢 Database Design\n\nEfficiently store and manage information about books, users, and transactions with a carefully crafted database schema.\n\n---\n\n## 👤 User Interface\n\nInteract seamlessly with the Library Management System through a user-friendly interface. Perform tasks such as adding, searching, borrowing, and returning books effortlessly.\n\n---\n\n## 🔗 JDBC Connectivity\n\nUtilize JDBC connectivity to establish a robust connection between the Java application and the database. This ensures efficient data retrieval and manipulation.\n\n---\n\n## ⚡ Functionality\n\nExperience comprehensive functionality with the ability to perform various tasks including adding books, searching for books by keyword, borrowing books, returning books, and displaying the list of borrowed books.\n\n---\n\n## ⚠️ Error Handling\n\nBenefit from robust error handling mechanisms that gracefully manage exceptions during database operations. Ensure smooth system operation under all circumstances.\n\n---\n\n## 🚀 Getting Started\n- Follow these steps to set up and run the project on your local machine.\n---\n\n### 🔗 1. Download MySQL JDBC Driver\n\nDownload the MySQL Connector/J from the official website:\n👉 [https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/](https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/)\n\n* Extract the ZIP file.\n* Copy the `mysql-connector-j-8.3.0.jar` file into a `lib/` folder inside the project root (create `lib/` if it doesn't exist).\n\n---\n\n### ⚙️ 2. Add the JAR to Your Project\n\n#### If you're using **IntelliJ IDEA**:\n\n* Right-click on your project → `Open Module Settings` → `Libraries` → `+` → `Java`\n* Select the JAR file from the `lib/` directory\n* Click **Apply** and then **OK**\n\n#### If you're using the **command line**:\n\nUse this to compile:\n\n```bash\njavac -cp \".;lib/mysql-connector-j-8.3.0.jar\" src/com/example/Main.java\n```\n\n---\n\n### 🛠️ 3. Configure the Database Connection\n\nUpdate the database connection details in your Java class (e.g., `DBConnection.java`):\n\n```java\nString url = \"jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/library_db\";\nString username = \"root\";\nString password = \"your_mysql_password\";\n```\n\n---\n\n### 🗃️ 4. Set Up the MySQL Database\n\n1. Run the application — it will automatically create the following tables if they don’t already exist:\n\n* **Books**\n* **Users**\n* **Transactions**\n\nAlternatively, you can manually create the `library_db` database:\n\n```sql\nCREATE DATABASE library_db;\n```\n\nThe table creation logic is already built into the `createTables()` method.\n\n---\n\n### ▶️ 5. Run the Application\n\nOnce everything is set up, run the application:\n\n```bash\njava -cp \".;lib/mysql-connector-j-8.3.0.jar\" Main\n```\n\nYou’ll see an interactive CLI menu like this:\n\n```\nLibrary Management System\n1. Add Book\n2. Search Book\n3. Borrow Book\n4. Return Book\n5. Show Available Books\n6. Exit\n```\n---\n\n## ✅ You're all set!\n\nThe Library Management System is now ready and connected to your MySQL database. Start managing your library resources efficiently!\n\n---\n\n## 🤝 Contributing\n- Feel free to fork this repo and submit pull requests for improvements, bug fixes, or feature additions.\n---","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fitsindrajput%2Flibrary-management-system","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fitsindrajput%2Flibrary-management-system","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fitsindrajput%2Flibrary-management-system/lists"}
