ScoutTrek API

Apollo GraphQL schema for Boy and Girls Scout Troops to create custom events

• Create common events such as camping, hiking, and backpacking based on ScoutTrek templates
• Create custom event templates for your Troop and allow authorized users like Patrol Leaders to create those event types
• Store, update, and send notifcations based on the latest changes to events, ensuring all users are up to date

Tech

• Apollo Server
• Mongoose + Atlas MongoDB Database
• Google Cloud App Engine

Note: Important libraries include type-graphql and typegoose, which help with types for graphql and mongoose respectively
