[JITERA] Implement Reader Module for Book Borrowing Management

Created by: chi-jitera

Overview

This pull request introduces a new reader module that allows for the management of readers who borrow books. The module includes a model, controller, routes, and updates to the server configuration.

Changes Made

1. Create Reader Model

   • A new model file Reader.js was created in the /models directory. This model defines the schema for a reader, including their name, contact information, and a list of borrowed books.

   const mongoose = require('../config/db');
   const readerSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
       name: { type: String, required: true },
       contactInfo: { type: String, required: true },
       borrowedBooks: [{ type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'Book' }]
   });
   module.exports = mongoose.model('Reader', readerSchema);

2. Create Reader Controller

   • A new controller file readerController.js was created in the /controllers directory. This controller includes methods for adding a reader, retrieving all readers, and allowing a reader to borrow a book.

   const Reader = require('../models/Reader');
   const Book = require('../models/Book');
   
   exports.addReader = async (req, res) => { /* implementation */ };
   exports.getReaders = async (req, res) => { /* implementation */ };
   exports.borrowBook = async (req, res) => { /* implementation */ };

3. Create Reader Routes

   • A new routes file readerRoutes.js was created in the /routes directory. This file defines the API endpoints for managing readers, including routes for adding a reader, getting all readers, and borrowing a book.

   const express = require('express');
   const readerController = require('../controllers/readerController');
   const router = express.Router();
   
   router.post('/readers', readerController.addReader);
   router.get('/readers', readerController.getReaders);
   router.post('/readers/:readerId/borrow/:bookId', readerController.borrowBook);
   module.exports = router;

4. Update Server to Include Reader Module

   • The server.js file was updated to include the new reader routes. This allows the application to handle requests related to readers.

   const readerRoutes = require('./routes/readerRoutes');
   app.use('/api', readerRoutes);

This implementation provides a complete solution for managing readers and their book borrowing activities.
