E-COME BACKEND

The backend of your e-commerce site, built with Node.js and Express.js, uses MongoDB for data storage and Mongoose for CRUD operations. It implements JWT for authentication, bcrypt for password hashing, and Multer for handling file uploads. The code follows the MVC architecture, includes CORS for secure cross-origin requests, and integrates NodeMailer for OTP email verification. Security is ensured through user session management and error handling.
