MERN Stack Project

This project is a full-stack web application built using the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js). It serves as a template for developing scalable and feature-rich web applications.

Features

• Authentication: User authentication using JWT (JSON Web Tokens) for secure login/logout functionality.
• CRUD Operations: Perform Create, Read, Update, and Delete operations on data stored in the MongoDB database.
• RESTful API: Utilizes Express.js to create a RESTful API for interacting with the backend services.
• React Frontend: Provides a responsive and dynamic user interface using React.js for a smooth user experience.
• State Management: Employs state management techniques (e.g., Redux) for efficient handling of application state.
• Form Validation: Implements form validation on the frontend to ensure data integrity.
• Scalable Architecture: Follows best practices for organizing codebase, making it easily scalable and maintainable.
• Deployment: Can be easily deployed on cloud platforms like Heroku, AWS, or Azure.
