Project Structure

The project is divided into two main parts:

1. Backend: A Node.js and Express.js server that handles sending email notifications.
2. Frontend: A ReactJS application that displays flight statuses and sends requests to the backend for email notifications.

Backend

• index.js: The main file that sets up the Express server and handles email sending using Nodemailer.

Frontend

• src/components/FlightTable.js: The main React component that fetches flight data from an API and displays it in a table.
• src/index.js: The entry point for the React application.

Environment Variables

The backend server uses the following environment variables:

• SENDER_EMAIL: The email address from which notifications will be sent.
• SENDER_EMAIL_PASS: The password for the email account.
• RECEIVER_EMAIL: The email address in which notifications will be received.

Usage

1. Ensure both the backend and frontend servers are running.
2. Open the frontend application in your browser (typically at http://localhost:3000).
3. The flight statuses will be displayed in a table.
4. If there are any delayed flights, an email will be sent to the specified email address with a list of all delayed flights.
