A library to help on the search for books on google books api.

Querying books #

First of all, import the library:

import 'package:books_finder/books_finder.dart';

To query a book, just call the function queryBooks:

final books = await queryBooks(
 'twilight',
 maxResults: 3,
 printType: PrintType.books,
 orderBy: OrderBy.relevance,
);

You can change a few parameters to make your query more specific:

Set langRestrict to restrict the query to a specific language
Set orderBy to order the query by newest or relevance and printType to filter in books or magazines
Set maxResults to set the max amount of results.
Set startIndex for pagination

Specific books #

First of all, to get a specific book, you need its id. You can get the book id by querying the name of it and calling book.id.

Next step is to get the book. To get it, just call the function getSpecificBook. For example:

final specificBook = await getSpecificBook(book.id);

But if you already have a book object, you can just call:

final completeInfo = await book.completeInfoBook;

If you already have a Book object, you can call book.info to get all the book infos.
