Approach to create Library Management Application Backend
- We will build an express server that will act as a backend API.
- Then we will configure MongoDB Atlas for storing library data.
- Then we will configure server for managing library data with Mongoose.
- We will add routes for getting users and books from backend with GET request.
- For authentication we will add login, logout , session route which use jwt and local passport authentication.
- Then we will add route create book which will create new book by taking book data from client.
- Similarly, we will add routes that will perform borrow and returning of book to library.
- All the above routes will use HTTP POST request.
- Finally, we will create another POST request for paying fine which can be modified later as per requirement to add more complex payment logic.
Library Management Application Backend
Library Management System backend using Express and MongoDB contains various endpoints that will help to manage library users and work with library data. The application will provide an endpoint for user management. API will be able to register users, authenticate users, borrow books, return books, create books, pay fine . We’ll be using NodeJS, Express and MongoDB. So, let’s get started with building the backend.
Note: Follow given link to build a Web application on Library Management System.
Preview of final output: Let us have a look at how the final application will look like.
