• The purpose of this course project is to develop an online book searching and sharing system.
• The book data is crawled from Goodreads
• Deployed on IBM Cloud
• Back-end: Node.js (Loopback framework); RESTful APIs; Cloudant database
• Front-end: Angular; Bootstrap

• https://bookle.eu-de.mybluemix.net
• the link above may not work now, because IBM only provides 6 months free trial for student account
• use deploy2 on IBM cloud
• PS: There are some bugs on IBM cloud, such as refreshing to 404 error, because of the different build environment between IBM cloud and local. However, you can still use the local running model without bugs.

• running on the local: master branch
• running on cloud: deploy2 branch

• data-preprocess: getting books and authors data from Goodreads
• bookle-api: backing service based on Loopback + Cloudant
• bookle-webapp: fronting service based on Angular

0. use master branch
1. run npm install in ./bookle-api and ./bookle-webapp
2. set apiEndpoint and auth in ./bookle/bookle-webapp/src/environmentsenvironment.ts
3. start loopback locally in ./bookle-api
4. start angular application: run ng serve in ./bookle-webapp

  apiEndpoint: 'https://bookle-vu.eu-de.cf.appdomain.cloud/api',
  auth: {
    clientId: '483ce3cd-4a9b-4a42-b8c0-21c7b63813be',
    clientSecret: 'fB1gU2hD3gN6dB8nK4bJ3xU7wX8fM6fR6sE3bI7hN0iS0sK6iE'
