# Event RSVP App
A full-stack MERN (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js) application for managing event RSVPs.
## Overview
This Event RSVP App allows users to create, view, and RSVP to events. It features a RESTful API backend built with Express.js and MongoDB, and a React frontend for a seamless user experience.
## Key Features
- Create and manage events
- RSVP and un-RSVP to events
- View all events with their details
- Real-time head count updates
## Technical Stack
- **Backend**: Node.js with Express.js
- **Database**: MongoDB
- **Frontend**: React (with hooks for state management)
- **API Communication**: Axios for HTTP requests
## API Endpoints
The app includes several RESTful API endpoints for event management:
- `GET /api/events`: Fetch all events
- `POST /api/events/create`: Create a new event
- `DELETE /api/events/:id/delete`: Delete an event
- `POST /api/events/:id/headCount/rsvp`: RSVP to an event
- `POST /api/events/:id/headCount/unrsvp`: Un-RSVP from an event
## Data Model
Events are stored in MongoDB with the following schema:
```javascript
{
_id: ObjectId,
name: String,
description: String,
date: Date,
location: String,
headCount: Integer
}
```
## Frontend Architecture
The React frontend is structured with components for displaying events and managing RSVPs. It uses React hooks (useState, useEffect) for state management and side effects.
