⚠️ Important Note
This project requires an API key to interact with the actual Weather API. Without a valid API key, the weather-related functionality will not work.
Please contact the developer to obtain the necessary API key and instructions.

This project is a GraphQL-based API for managing property records. It allows users to perform CRUD operations on property data and fetch weather information for specific properties by integrating with the Weather API.

• Create, read, and manage property records.
• Fetch weather data for properties during creation.
• Query all properties with filtering and sorting options.
• Explore the API using Apollo Sandbox.

• Node.js: Backend runtime.
• TypeScript: Static typing for JavaScript.
• GraphQL: API query language.
• Express: Web framework.
• Apollo Server: GraphQL server integration.
• SQLite: Lightweight database. (Note that database file with example entries is already present: database.sqlite)
• Sequelize: ORM for database management.
