Dependencies

The following dependencies are used in this project:

• Express: Fast, unopinionated web framework for Node.js
• body-parser: Node.js body parsing middleware
• dotenv: Loads environment variables from a .env file
• morgan: HTTP request logger middleware
• jsonwebtoken: JSON Web Token implementation for token verification

Make sure to install these dependencies before running the server.

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository to your local machine.
2. Put Secrect Key In .env file In JWT_SECRET Variable.
3. Install the required dependencies using a package manager like npm or yarn.
4. Use command (npm install -dev)
5. Set up the environment variables by creating a .env file and providing the necessary values.
6. Run the server using the appropriate command (npx ts-node dist/index.js).

Middleware

The server uses the following middleware:

• body-parser: Parses JSON and URL-encoded request bodies with a payload size limit of 50mb.
• morgan: Logs HTTP requests in the "combined" format.

Routes

The server defines the following routes:

• /: Returns a "Server is Up!" response for the root URL.
• /api/v1: Mounts the GeoJSONRouter middleware, which handles specific routes related to GeoJSON data.
• /auth: Mounts the UserRouter middleware, which handles user authentication routes.

Starting the Server

To start the server, run the appropriate command (e.g., npx ts-node dist/index.js) in the project's root directory. The server will listen on the port specified in the environment variables.
