## Local library

This Windows Forms Application provides a convenient and interactive way to explore and search for items in a JSON file. The application includes a paginated view of the items, a search feature, and a setting to change the file path of the JSON file and change the number of items displayed per page.

## Key Features

- **Paginated View:** The application displays the items in a paginated view, allowing users to navigate through the pages of items.

- **Search Feature:** Users can search for items by title with a built-in delay for more accurate search results.

- **Link Preview:** When a user clicks on an item, the application will open the associated link in the default web browser.

- **Change File Path:** Users can change the file path of the JSON file through the settings feature.

- **Local Image Storage:** The application saves images to local storage for faster loading.

## Getting Started

1. [Download](https://github.com/yousef0sa/Local-Library/releases) and install for Windows

2. Set up the JSON file with the required format, including the **title**, **image**, **link**, and **info**.

```json

{

    "": [

        {

            "title": "string-title",

            "image": "string-URL-image",

            "link": "string-URL-link",

            "info": "string-info"

        }

    ]

}

```

3. Change the file path in the settings feature to the location of the JSON file or If you're launching the application for the first time, a window will appear asking you to specify the path.

4. Explore the items in a paginated view, search for items, and click on an item to open the associated link.
