Mongoose Express CRUD Mastery

Objective: Develop a Node.js Express application with TypeScript as the programming language, integrating MongoDB with Mongoose for user data and order management. Ensure data integrity through validation using Zod. This application is developed using Node.js, Express, MongoDB, and TypeScript.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:

Node.js installed
MongoDB Atlas account (or your local MongoDB server)
MongoDB connection string
Your environment variables in a .env file (similar to the provided .env example)

Getting Started

Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/riasat97/L2-B2-assignment-2

Navigate to the project directory:
```
    cd L2-B2-assignment-2
```
Install dependencies:
```
    npm install
```

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

    NODE_ENV=development
    PORT=5000
    DATABASE_URL=mongodb+srv://your-username:your-password@cluster0.mongodb.net/your-database?retryWrites=true&w=majority
    BCRYPT_SALT_ROUNDS=12

Replace your-username, your-password, and your-database with your MongoDB Atlas credentials.

Start the application:
```
    npm run start:dev
```
The application will be available at http://localhost:5000.
