Demo

Prerequisites

Get the API key from Google Developer Console. https://console.developers.google.com

Generate the API key and enable the Google Books API

Usage

Basic usage of GoogleBookSearch

  <GoogleBookSearch
     apikey={"API KEY FROM DEVELOPER CONSOLE"}
     onResultPress={(book)=> console.log(book)}
  />

onResultPress will give you the pressed book details.

     {
           id:'id of book',
           title:'name of the book',
           authors:['array of authors'],
           isbn:['isbn types'],
           raw:{}
      }

You can use this as an API also,

import {BookSearch} from 'react-native-google-books';

  async getGameofThronesBooks(){
    let books = await BookSearch.searchbook("game of thrones","API_KEY");
  }

  //Response of this request
  {
    status:true,
    code:200,
    data:[{}]
  }
