Here's frontend repo

TODO:

  1. Use transactions in mutation resolvers which involves multiple mutating db requests.

Update 1: Replace material-ui with twin.macro just to practice react, CSS and make reusable components. It's hard to get it all correct (flexibility, performance etc)

Update 2: Migrated Server codebase to Typescript using type-graphql, typegoose.

Update 3: Migrated Client codebase to Typescript using graphql, @graphql-codegen 💚 ,definitelyTyped libs.

Update 4: (27/10/2021) Automated Graphql Testing using jest, ts-jest, isomorphic-fetch.

Update 5: (29/10/2021) Replaced constant growing arrays with mongoose virtuals.

Update 6: (4/05/2022) Moving to Hybrid(poly repo + mono repo) structure to reduce code,build management issues, also I am not using tools like Nx,turborepo,bazel which would mitigate those issues.

Update 7: Improve existing data model.
