[Guhapriya01]

Description

This pull request implements pagination and sorting functionality for the APIs related to books, members, and borrowings. This enhancement addresses issue #38 and improves the efficiency of data retrieval from the API by allowing users to paginate through large datasets and sort results based on specified fields.

Changes Made

• Added pagination and sorting capabilities to the following endpoints:
  • GET /api/books
  • GET /api/members
  • GET /api/borrowings
  • GET /api/borrowings/member/{member_id}

Implementation Details

• Leveraged Spring Data’s Pageable interface to support pagination and sorting.
• Updated the service and repository layers to accommodate the new functionality.
• Added query parameters for pagination and sorting:
  • Pagination: page (default: 0), size (default: 5)
  • Sorting: sortBy (field) and sortDir (asc or desc)

Future Work

• Drafting documentation to describe the new pagination and sorting parameters in the API.
