Create an application that should all you to:

• Type in a query and display a list of books matching that query.
• Each item in the list should include the book's author, title, and publishing company, as well as a picture of the book.
• From each list item, you should also be able to navigate to more information about the book, but this information does not necessarily need to appear on a page within your application. In other words, this could link out to an external site with more information about that particular book.

• Created a Ruby on Rails web-application
• Configured the Google Books API for consumption
• Created API requests using HTTParty gem
• Consumed JSON responses from the API
• Mapped response to application-specific data by creating Book objects
• Added appropriate structure/styling for usability of the application (HTML/CSS/Bootstrap)
• Added appropriate unit tests for the controller, API wrapper, and class object created

After cloning repository and navigating to directory, run the following code in terminal:

    $ bundle install
    $ rails server

go to http://localhost:3000/ in the browser to open the application.

To run tests run the following code in the terminal:

    $ rails test

The application is deployed on Heroku at: http://mybookworm.herokuapp.com/

To Deploy to heroku, take the following steps:

1. Make a Heroku account and download Heroku command line tools at https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-command-line.

2. Sign into Heroku from terminal

    $ heroku login
    Enter your Heroku credentials.
    Email:  [email protected]
    Password (Typing will be hidden):  
    Authentication successful.
   

3. Navigate to app directory

4. Choose an app name and create heroku app in terminal

    ~ $ cd path/to/my_rails_app
    ~/path/to/my_rails_app $ heroku create my-new-app
   

5. Use git push to push current state of master branch to Heroku.

    ~/path/to/my_rails_app $ git push heroku master
   

6. Open page in browser by going to link http://my-new-app.herokuapp.com/ or heroku open command.

• Add feature to allow for navigation to book information on a page within the application -- will need to update consumption of JSON responses to map responses to book description, publisher date, page count etc.
