Notency API

Notency API is the back-end API for the Notency project. For the project's complete README, please refer to Notency README

Notency API

The Notency API is the Node.JS back-end for Notency Front-end. Our back-end uses Express, Mongoose and other several open-source libraries. It was created with test driven development in mind while using tools such as Flow and Jest. It also uses the async/await syntax for all its routes and API calls.

Notency API makes use of Twilio for sending text messages and Mailgun for sending e-mail messages. These APIs are the foundation of our Notification and Announcement features and it completes the main essential of our app which is to have two-way communication with its customers.
