Improvement

• App is currently not responsive
• All the errors are not handled in the backend
• Front End design could have been improved
• Proper Transitions could have been added.
• Instead of alerting a Toast could have been used for better viewing experience.

Dependencies used backend

• body-parser : for parsing body of http request
• cors: to support cross-origin requests and data transfers
• dotenv : creating environment variables
• express : backend as asked
• mongoose : storing data in cloud mongoDB server as asked
• nodemon: for development

No extra dependency used in the front end expect the default angular dependencies.
