Technologies and Technical Challenges - Gregory-DelCarlo/Nomad GitHub Wiki

Technologies

Technologies that we will be using are the following:

• Mongodb
• Express
• React
• Node.js
• Mapbox API
• Hiker API
• React Spring API

A technical challenge that maybe faced in the future is understanding how to integrate a public API into the app.

Backend

Technologies used to make up the backend are MongoDB, Express, Node.js. APIs that will be used are Mapbox and Hiker API. Mapbox API will be used to integrate live maps and navigation while Hiker API will provide a database of outdoor trails, trail conditions, and various metadata about each trail.

Frontend

We will be using React and Sass to handle the frontend portion of the stack. An additional resource that will be used is the react spring API which will help render animations.
