Library Management System

Library Management System that manages and stores books information electronically according to readers' needs. The system helps both readers and library manager to keep a constant track of all the books available in the library.

Project Structure

This project consists of a frontend and a backend. The frontend is built using Vue.js, while the backend is built using FastAPI, a modern, fast (high-performance), web framework for building APIs with Python 3.6+ based on standard Python type hints.

The frontend and backend projects are organized in separate directories:

• frontend/ - Contains the source code for the Vue.js frontend application.
• backend/ - Contains the source code for the FastAPI backend application.

Tech Stack

The Library Management System application is built using the following technologies:

• Frontend: Vue.js, Vuex, Vue Router, axios
• Backend: Python, FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, Alembic, MySQL, Pydantic
• Testing: Jest, Vue Test Utils, Pytest

Requirements

Before running the application, make sure you have the following software installed:

• Node.js (v14 or later)
• Python (v3.9 or later)
• MySQL

Configuration

This project expects a .env file to be present in the root directory of the backend project. This file should contain environment variables that are used to configure the application.

Here's an example .env file:

MYSQL_USER=root
MYSQL_PASSWORD=root
MYSQL_SERVER=localhost
MYSQL_PORT=3306
MYSQL_DB=library_management_db
MYSQL_TEST_DB=test_library_management_db
SECRET_KEY=1e6bbe9fb6685cc5e7860be8e043dacd3e4db3794903a4e3399220f90f42924c

Backend Project

Project Setup

To get started with the backend project, follow these steps:

# Open a terminal window and navigate to the `backend/` directory
cd library-management-system/backend/

# create a virtual environment
python -m venv venv

# activate the environment
source ./venv/Scripts/activate

# make sure you are using the correct virtual environment
which pip

# upgrade pip
python -m pip install --upgrade pip

# install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# serve with hot reload at localhost:8000
uvicorn main:app --reload
