Making backend for authentication

[jaydxxp]

Description

The project currently has a working frontend but lacks a backend to handle authentication and data storage. We need to implement a backend using Node.js, Express.js, and MongoDB to manage user authentication and related API functionality.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Run the frontend.
2. Try to sign up or log in.
3. Notice there’s no backend to handle authentication requests.

Expected Behavior

There should be a backend service that:

• Connects to a MongoDB database.
• Provides API endpoints for user registration, login, and authentication.
• Supports JWT-based session management.
• Can be easily integrated with the existing frontend.

Actual Behavior

The frontend works well, but there’s currently no backend to support authentication or database operations.

Additional Info

The backend should follow RESTful principles and be structured for scalability.
