MERN Stack Application for Recording Issued Devices

Virittämö - Recruitment challenge

Overview

Welcome, Developer! In this document, we'll guide you on creating a web application using the MERN (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js) stack for recording devices issued by the ICT team to other departments within the company. The application should include features to capture information such as the date of issue, device details (name, manufacturer, device number), recipient details (name, department), and returning date.
