Simplest Library Management System

2021-02-26

I have always wanted to learn JavaScript and some of its libraries, the more mainstream ones, like electronjs, vue etc. So last week I gave it a try, I originally had the idea to just read the docs and understand about them, but I get distracted easily and I find reading a little boring. So like most youtube videos on teaching programming would suggest you, I tried making a library management system. This project was a learning process, which was made super simple by the great documentation provided on electronjs's website. I didn't use vue because I find vanilla JavaScript cute ( I hope this doesn't sound weird ) plus this was a super simple project and I didn't want to complicate it. Electron also makes it simple to package and distribute your projects, but I haven't checked that out.

The system does only the basic stuff like keeping the record of books, students who have borrowed books, and some other things. This project was a learning experience thus not all of the things work properly but I am happy that I know a little more about JavaScript. I would love to study more JavaScript, getting more familiar with JavaScript and its mainstream libraries sounds very cool. I had always looked at JavaScript like that character in a movie who is there just to add personality to the protagonist, but even though I have learned only a small amount of JavaScript it seems like it is the main deal. The abilities of JavaScript seem endless ( I don't know how good it is for AI though), it is fast and flexible. I almost forgot to link the GitHub repo, here it is. Next up something regarding alphabets,hopefully.
