This is the backend component of our e-commerce platform, developed using Node.js and MongoDB. The backend serves as the engine for our e-commerce store, handling product data, user authentication, order processing, and more. It includes a robust admin panel for managing products and users efficiently.
Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:
- Node.js: Install Node.js (and npm) on your machine.
- MongoDB: Set up a MongoDB database to store application data.

Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/your-username/e-commerce-backend.git cd e-commerce-backend
Your backend API will be accessible at http://localhost:5000.
