Last Updated :
05 Aug, 2024
A Library Management System (LMS) allows users to manage library books, members, and borrowing history. In this article, we'll build a basic LMS using Next.js, which will include functionalities for managing books, members, and viewing borrowing history.
Prerequisites:
Approach to Create Library Management System Using Next.js:
- Create Components Directory:
- Navbar.js: Navigation bar for the application.
- manage-book.js: Form to add or edit books.
- issue-book.js: Form to issue books.
- view-issued.js: Component to view issued books.
- Display a form to add books and a list of existing books which will have functionality to edit and delete books.
- Display a form to issue books to members where admin will select students name and book details to issue.
- Display a table of issued books with details like student name, book title, author, and issue date.
Steps to Create Library Management System
Step 1: Create a application of NextJS using the following command.
npx create-next-app lms
Step 2: It will ask you some questions, so choose as the following.
√ Would you like to use TypeScript? ... No
√ Would you like to use ESLint? ... No
√ Would you like to use Tailwind CSS? ... No
√ Would you like to use `src/` directory? ... Yes
√ Would you like to use App Router? (recommended) ... Yes
√ Would you like to customize the default import alias (@/*)? ... No
Step 3: Navigate to project directory
cd lms
Step 4: Install the necessary package in your project using the following command.
npm install bootstrap
Step 5: Create the folder structure as shown below and create the files in respective folders.

"dependencies": {
"bootstrap": "^5.3.3",
"next": "14.1.3",
"react": "^18",
"react-dom": "^18",
}Example: Create the required files and write the following code.
JavaScript
// Page.js
