Return similar books based on a book

[adeen-s]

Assigning this to me.

List of subtasks for reference:

• Use Tastedive.com API to get similar books
• Implement firebase cloud function to get search query and return JSON data Find some other workaround since Firebase does not allow outbound requests on the free tier.. This is to protect the API key.
• Parse JSON data to get list of books based on similarity.
• Display the List of books in the desired format of the website.

Interacting with the API:

• Get API key from https://tastedive.com
• The format of the API --> https://tastedive.com/api/similar?q=harry+potter+and+the+order+of+the+phoenix&type=books&k="API KEY HERE"

Current Status:

• Built the functionality using vanilla JS

Todo now:

• Make us of vue for the same functionality

so i have done it in vanila JS. I return a list of 20 similar books from given book name(i assume book name is correct)
Should I do it in vue now?

@Shivam60 You should be working on #7 , I got this one.

@ahegazy I need some help here. I have done the part where I now get the list of similar books. I have appended the list as an object to the similar_books object of ResultsObj. and I can see the output in concole.log().
When I try to display it in book.vue, nothing is shown.

@adeen-s can I see the code
Can you push it to your fork?

[adeen-s]

It's on my fork.

A PR would be good :D

[adeen-s]

I don't want to make an incomplete PR to this repo. I will do it if you want me to, but I do not want to.

[ahegazy]

it would be easier to see the difference + we can edit it as we want and it wouldn't affect the main repo ..
