BookVault is a library management service built with Django REST Framework (DRF) that allows users to browse a catalogue of books and borrow them. It consists of two independent API services for users and admins.
- Enroll users: Users can register with their email, first name, and last name.
- Browse catalogue: List all available books in the library.
- Book details: View detailed information about a book by its ID.
- Filter books: Filter books by publisher (e.g., Wiley, Apress, Manning) or by category (e.g., fiction, technology, science).
- Borrow books: Users can borrow a book by specifying the borrowing duration in days.
- Add new books: Admins can add new books to the library catalogue.
- Remove books: Admins can remove books from the catalogue.
- View users: Fetch and list all users enrolled in the library.
- View borrowed books: Admins can see which users have borrowed books and when the books will be available again.
- Unavailable books: List books that are currently unavailable for borrowing, with their expected availability date.
- Backend: Django REST Framework (DRF)
- Data Stores: PostgreSQL (or other DB solutions as needed per service)
- Containerization: Docker for both services
- Testing: Unit and integration tests for service validation
BookVault is built with two independent services:
- Frontend API: Handles user interactions like book browsing, registration, and borrowing.
- Backend/Admin API: Manages library operations such as book cataloging and user management.
