Library Management System

Project Overview

This Library Management System is a Spring Boot-based application designed to manage books, authors, members, and loans in a library. It allows users to:

  • Manage authors, books, members, and loans.
  • Perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations.
  • Track book loans and manage book inventories.

Features

  • Author Management: Add, update, view, and delete authors.
  • Book Management: Add, update, view, and delete books. Filter books by genre.
  • Member Management: Add, update, view, and delete library members.
  • Loan Management: Add, update, view, and delete loan records.

Technologies Used

  • Backend: Spring Boot
  • Database: H2 Database (In-memory)
  • Dependency Management: Maven
  • Build Tool: Spring Boot Maven Plugin

Project Structure

  • Controller Layer: Manages HTTP requests and interacts with services.
  • Service Layer: Contains business logic and interacts with DAO.
  • DAO Layer: Data access objects for handling database operations.
  • DTO Layer: Response structure for consistent API responses.
