Tech Stack

• Runtime: Node.js
• Framework: Express.js
• Database: MongoDB with Mongoose ODM
• Template Engine: EJS (Embedded JavaScript)
• Dev Tool: Nodemon for auto-reloading

Installation

1. Clone the repository
2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

Usage

Start the development server with auto-reload:

npm run dev

The application will run on the default Express port (typically http://localhost:8000).

MVC Architecture

• Models: Define data structure and interact with MongoDB
• Views: EJS templates that render the user interface
• Controllers: Handle HTTP requests, process data, and return responses
• Routes: Map URLs to controller functions

Development

The project uses Nodemon in development mode, which automatically restarts the server when file changes are detected.
