Login/Signup Application

This repository contains the code for a Login/Signup application built using the MEN (MongoDB, Express.js, Node.js) stack.

Technologies Used

• MongoDB: MongoDB is used as the database to store user information.
• Express.js: Express.js is used to handle routing and middleware for the server-side application.
• Node.js: Node.js is used as the server-side JavaScript runtime environment.
• JSON Web Tokens (JWT): JWT is used for user authentication and authorization.
• bcrypt: bcrypt is used for password hashing.
• dotenv: dotenv is used for loading environment variables from a .env file.
• morgan: morgan is used as an HTTP request logger middleware for Node.js.
• nodemon: nodemon is used as a utility that monitors for changes in the code and automatically restarts the server.

Folder Structure

• models: Contains MongoDB schema models for user data.
• controllers: Contains controller functions for handling user registration, login, and other authentication-related operations.
• routes: Contains Express.js router definitions for different API endpoints.
• helpers: Contains helper functions such as password hashing and JWT token generation.
• config: Contains configuration files, such as database connection setup.

Usage

• Register a new user: Send a POST request to /api/v1/auth/register with name, email, password, phone, and address in the request body.
• User login: Send a POST request to /api/v1/auth/login with email and password in the request body. Upon successful login, a JWT token will be returned in the response.
