This project is designed to facilitate the transmission of alarm messages to rescuers when an emergency call is received. It is developed using Django 5.0.2, GraphQL, and MongoDB. The project operates entirely through an API, with no graphical user interface. Users can send alarm messages to selected contacts, and all Create, Read, Update, and Delete operations on the model are accessible through the API.

The most important technologies used in the project:

• Python 3.12
• Django 5.0.2
• GraphQL (graphene 3.3 and graphene-django 3.2.0)
• Pre-commit 3.6.2
• Twilio 8.13.0
• MongoDB (mongoengine 0.27.0 and graphene-mongo 0.4.2)
• Docker 24.0.5

To use application you need to have user account in email service and sms service. This project using Sendgrid (email) and Twilio (sms).

• [Feature 1]: Send alarm message to contacts saved in database. User can send to API id-s of rescuers and message. Application will send SMS and email to them.
• [Feature 1]: User can make all CRUD operations on RescueContacts - by using one api endpoint.

2. Create a virtual environment and install poetry (optional but recommended):

    pip install poetry
    poetry env use python3.12

3. Install project dependencies:

    poetry install
