My Awesome Backend Project

Welcome to my GitHub repository for my backend project! This project is focused on building a backend server for a web application using Express.js and MongoDB. As a frontend web developer with experience in React and Angular, I'm excited to dive into backend development and expand my skillset.

Project Overview

In this project, I've set up a backend server using Express.js, a popular Node.js framework for building web applications and APIs. The server interacts with a MongoDB database to store and manage data. I've organized the codebase into different modules and routes to ensure maintainability and modularity.

Features

• Environment Variables: The project uses dotenv to manage environment variables, ensuring that sensitive information is kept secure.

• CORS Configuration: I've configured Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) using the cors middleware to allow requests from a specific origin (https://ng-notenexus.netlify.app).

• Express Middleware: The project uses Express middleware to handle JSON parsing, which is essential for processing incoming requests and responses.

• Routes and Controllers: I've implemented various routes and controllers to handle different functionalities, such as user management, note storage, user authentication, and verification.

• Error Handling: To enhance the user experience, I've included custom error handling middleware (handleError) to handle errors gracefully.

Getting Started

1. Make sure you have Node.js and npm installed on your system.
2. Clone this repository to your local machine.
3. Run npm install to install the required dependencies.
4. Set up your environment variables by creating a .env file and filling in the necessary values.
5. Run the server using npm start or node index.js.
6. Access the server by navigating to http://localhost:3000 in your browser.

Endpoints

• GET /: Home route that provides a link to access the Mongo Database.

• GET /db/notes: Retrieve notes from the MongoDB database.

• POST /db/notes: Create a new note and store it in the database.

• GET /db/users: Get information about users from the database.

• POST /db/login: User login route for authentication.

• POST /db/verify: Verification route for user verification.
