this project was initialized using npm init -y

added the following packages

-bcryptjs or you can use the crypto library installed in js -express to setup routes and the base server -cookie-parser to pass cookies from server to the browser as a response http only cookies for more security -nodemon to restart our development envt -morgan to log our endpoints as we send requests -mongoose to enable data modelling and connect to the mongo database -dotenv to access the env variables using process.env --added another package (validator) to help with email validation

controllers for the routes

const register = async (req, res) => { res.send("register"); }; const login = async (req, res) => { res.send("login"); }; const update = async (req, res) => { res.send("update"); }; const remove = async (req, res) => { res.send("delete"); }; export { register, login, update, remove };

const registerWaste = async (req, res) => { res.send("register waste"); }; const updateWaste = async (req, res) => { res.send("register waste"); }; const getAllWastes = async (req, res) => { res.send("register waste"); }; const deleteWaste = async (req, res) => { res.send("register waste"); }; export { registerWaste, updateWaste, getAllWastes, deleteWaste };

created the skelleton for all the routes

import express from "express"; const router = express.Router(); import { register, login, update, remove, } from "../Controllers/authController.js";

import express from "express"; const router = express.Router(); import { registerWaste, updateWaste, getAllWastes, deleteWaste, } from "../Controllers/wasteController.js"; router.route("/waste").post(registerWaste); router.route("/updatewaste").patch(updateWaste); router.route("getwaste").get(getAllWastes); router.route("deletewaste:id").delete(deleteWaste); export default router;

router.route("/register").post(register); router.route("/login").post(login); router.route("/update:id").patch(update); router.route("/delete:id").delete(remove); export default router;

protection middleware will be installed later

  if (userExists) {
    throw new BAD_REQUEST("email is already in use");
  }
  const user = await User.create(req.body);
  const token = user.createJwt();
  const userClient = {
    name: user.name,
    email: user.email,
    location: user.location,
  };
  res.status(StatusCodes.CREATED).json({ userClient, token });
