Description

I have created a /src/server.js however several things need to be done:

  • Set up express
  • Make the initial routes Including 404 Not Found and the root route /.
  • Set up middleware
  • set up routers
  • Make logs with Morgan & Winston
  • set up helmet and cors for XSS, XHR, etc.
  • set up bcrypt, axios, passport, jwt for login and logout functionality.

Improve the backend and database by adding:

  • an example .variable.env with the port number and mongodb connection string.
  • ensure that can be consumed by MongoDB Atlas, Compass and also mongod, mongo, mongosh, mongoose.
  • Create a utility that creates a test user in the user collection of the database

The database will be called fashionmarket. I have installed the most commonly used packages to the server package.json file

Contributor guide

Research direction
Follow the checklist: set up Express app, add middleware (helmet, cors, morgan, winston), create routes (root and 404), configure routers, integrate authentication with bcrypt, axios, passport, JWT, and set up MongoDB connection with Mongoose. Create a .env.example file and a utility script to seed a test user.
