Additional Details

Models Integration

The project utilizes models for handling collections and documents. These models can be found in the models directory. Make sure to customize them based on your application requirements.

MongoDB Integration

MongoDB is used as the database for storing data. The mongoose library is employed for interacting with MongoDB. Ensure that your MongoDB instance is properly configured and accessible.

Express Validator Integration

Express Validator is integrated into the application for input validation. Validators can be found in the validators directory. Customize these validators according to your input requirements.

Bcrypt Integration

Bcrypt is used for password protection. Passwords should be hashed before storing them in the database. The bcrypt library is used for this purpose. Make sure to handle user authentication securely using hashed passwords.
