Bookshelf is a react-native app used in the project #9 of the AI Engineer Open Classrooms Path.
if you want to preview the app on a real phone, you need to install the android or iOS expo app
Expo is platform to preview mobile apps. It uses either the iOS or android simulator, depending on the type on machine it's running on. It's also possible to download the expo app from either the app store or the play store to preview mobile apps directly from a mobile phone
First, make sure you have node and npm installed.
Then, clone this repo, install required dependencies using npm install in the project directory.
To start the app, execute npm start, and scan the provided QR Code with a phone to preview the app.
Once a user is selected within the app, recommendations for this user will be fetched automatically.
Precisely, an HTTP POST request will be send to the address defined by the variable API_URL, which is configured in config.json. A json body having this shape is expected:
{
userId: __SOME_USER_ID__
}
And a response whose body is a valid json array containing the ids of the suggested books will be returned by the API, for example:
[34, 32, 893, 1]
Tip : To setup the API, we suggest using Azure Functions. Once the http endpoint provided by azure has been set in config.json, the userId provided can be retrieved using req.get_json()
This project is ready to be shared with Expo. Head to expo documentation to learn how to share a preview of your app.
