Instead of installing with npm i, run the CLI directly:

npm create codebyamanv-server@latest

I have created basic apis for when server starts and for User to understanding the how middlewares and utilities working

🔧 Update Env

Make sure to update your .env file with your MongoDB connection URL and other required variables. If you don’t update the environment variables, the server will throw errors while running.

🌐 Domain

Check the following files:

• src/utils/sessionUtils.js

In these files, cookies are set/cleared with configuration like:

{
    httpOnly: true,
    secure: true,
    sameSite: 'none',
    path: '/',
    // domain: 'Enter your domain here',
    maxAge: 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000,
}

if your backend is on subdomain most likely it will be than use .before domain ex: .domain
