Employee App Backend (Node.js + Express + MongoDB)

Overview

This is the backend for the Employee App.
It connects to MongoDB Atlas and provides REST APIs for CRUD operations. The frontend (dist folder) should be placed inside this directory — do not edit dist contents.

APIs

Method	Endpoint	Description
GET	/api/employees	Get all employees
GET	/api/employees/:id	Get single employee
POST	/api/employees	Add new employee
PUT	/api/employees/:id	Update employee
DELETE	/api/employees/:id	Delete employee

Setup

1. Install dependencies:

   npm install

2. Create a .env file with your MongoDB Atlas URI:

   MONGO_URI=your-mongodb-uri
   PORT=5000

3. Place your frontend dist folder in this directory.
4. Start the server:

   npm start

5. Access the app at: http://localhost:5000
