Fullstack implementation of a simple web application in MERN stack.
MongoDB records are saved remotely in a DB. The DB is accessed via .env in server.
GraphQL was used for API calls from client ( frontend ) and the server ( backend ).
React.js and Bootstrap were used during frontend development.
Will not use Bootstrap again. An alternative to that could be Tailwind or MUI.
The data is saved in a MongoDB database.
Mongoose was used for creating DB schemasas well as data validation.
GraphQL was used instead of REST for API calls.
GraphiQL, an extension of GraphQL, was used to provide the developer

Redux or the Context are not necessary in small apps as this one.
