ToDo App Backend

This is a backend implementation for a basic ToDo application with authentication using email, password, and JWT. It includes CRUD operations for ToDo items and uses MongoDB as the database.

Features

• User authentication (Signup and Login) using JWT
• Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) operations for ToDo items
• Middleware for protected routes
• MongoDB for data storage

Technologies Used

• Node.js
• Express.js
• MongoDB (Mongoose)
• JWT (JSON Web Token)
• bcryptjs (for password hashing)

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed on your machine:

• Node.js
• MongoDB

Getting Started

3. Set up environment variables:

   Create a .env file in the root directory of your project and add the following environment variables:

   MONGO_URI=your_mongodb_connection_string
   JWT_SECRET=your_jwt_secret
   PORT=8000

Running the Application

1. Start the MongoDB server: Ensure your MongoDB server is running. You can start it using the following command (if installed locally) or Can use MongoDB Compass.
