Crate book_lib 

book_lib

A main module for the book managing library. The main goal of the library is to see the PDF files from all the filesystem on your PC in one place. The library provides an API for creating/updating/deleting a “book” that represents a PDF by it’s path and name.

The library uses sqlite as a database manager and stores the data in the $HOME/.config/book-cli/books.db

Usage

1. Create a connection to the database:

use book_lib::{db, book};

let connection = book_lib::db::setup();

2. Create a new book

let new_book = book::Book::init("book_name".to_string(), "path_to/your/file.pdf".to_string(), None, false);
book_lib::create_book(&connection, &new_book); //creating new book in the DB

3. Make it favourite

book_lib::update_favourite(&connection, &("book_name".to_string()), true); //true to be favourite, false not to be

4. Remove the book

book_lib::remove_book(&connection, &("book_name".to_string()));
