Google Code-in

This task requires some prior knowledge of BookBrainz, and you are encouraged to create an account and try the website, as well as read the help page that has definitions of some concepts we will use below.

Currently in BookBrainz, entity aliases do not appear on an entity display page. Take for example the display page for Lemony Snicket and compare it to the edit page for the same entity, and click on "edit 1 alias". You will see that the entity has 1 alias (Daniel Handler), that is not shown on the display page but visible when editing.

In this task you will find out how to add aliases on the display pages, with aliases being common to all entities rather than specific to one. This will require some knowledge or React, the framework BookBrainz uses for the website.

If you have questions or need help setting up, don't hesitate to contact us here or on our IRC channel!
