livres is a simple web application used for library management.

Logo made using this.

• The front end for this project has been written in TypeScript and uses React along with MUI for styling and components.
• The back end is written in Python and uses flask with SQLite3 serving as the database and SQLAlchemy for the ORM.

The application provides a user interface to the librarian who is supposed to run and manage the library transactions. The librarian is able to perform the following functions:-

• Issuing books to members and recording date of borrowing.
• Tracking status of books lent out and maintaining list of overdue books.

• Issuing book returns and recording date of returning.
• Altering dates or deleting records of pending as well as completed transactions.

• Importing books from an external API into the user's sytem by searching for the name, author, isbn code or publisher and then selecting the number of books to be imported.
• The imported stock of books can be viewed, searched and managed through the application.

• Registering new members to the library and managing existing ones.
• Maintaining records of the debt owed by each member to the library.
• A member owing more than Rs. 500 is unable to borrow new books till he returns what he owes.
