Leave Scheduler

Overview

Leave Scheduler is a responsive web application designed to streamline employee leave management for organizations. The application allows managers and employees to manage leave requests efficiently, providing real-time updates on leave balances, approvals, and schedules. Leveraging React for the frontend with Material UI for styling, and Node.js with Express for the backend, Leave Scheduler connects to a MongoDB database and utilizes GraphQL for efficient data querying and manipulation.
