# Book Database Web App

Lets you view, create, delete and update books in a remote book database.

Client CRUD web app for the 

[Forverkliga Database API](https://www.forverkliga.se/JavaScript/api/crud.php).

## Summary of API

The *API* itself simulates a poorly designed Book Database API with CRUD-functionality.

1. The API has a high likelihood of failing. On every operation.

2. The API returns `HTTP 200` on every operation

3. The API returns a `JSON` but the MIME-type is erroneously set to `text/html`.

4. The API accepts only query-parameters.

5. Only `GET` is used.

## Specs

* The app can request a API-key

* All AJAX-calls are repeated until they succeed (with a limit of 10 tries).

* CRUD functionality:

  * Add data to database

  * View data in database

  * Modify data in database

  * Delete data

## Get Started

Disable CORS in your browser (CORS everywhere extension) or launch a simple 

Python webserver in the app's root folder:

~~~sh

$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080

~~~
