[1.0.x] Book Library API

Created on 19 August 2025, 29 days ago

The Book Library API module offers a modern solution for managing book collections within current Drupal releases. This module provides a robust and structured system for defining and storing key book information, alongside an intuitive administrative interface.

While a previous Book Library module ( https://www.drupal.org/project/book_library โ†’ ), with initial development sponsored by Clinical Tools, Inc., offered basic administrative categorization for book content in older Drupal 7.x versions, it has not been actively maintained for over 10 years.

In contrast, the Book Library API is a ground-up development leveraging newer Drupal Core functionalities. This module provides a robust and structured system for defining and storing key book information, along with an intuitive administrative interface.

A vital aspect is that it exposes this data through well-defined RESTful resources, ensuring seamless integration with other applications and making it ideal for headless Drupal architectures.

Integrating Drupal's comprehensive permission system, the Book Library API offers secure and granular control over data access for both backend users and external systems. This represents a fresh, actively developed, and powerful approach to managing your book collections in contemporary Drupal environments, independent of the architecture and maintenance status of its predecessor.

Features

Structured content management for book details (title, author, publication year, description, etc.).
Administrative interface for easy creation, editing, and deletion of book entries.
Implementation of RESTful resources for programmatic access to book data (CRUD operations).
Granular permission control over API interactions for different user roles.
Support for content categorization using Drupal's taxonomy system (genres, tags).
Suitable for both traditional Drupal sites and headless Drupal architectures.
