E-Cart Backend

This is the backend server for the E-Cart e-commerce application. It provides the API endpoints and handles database operations for the application.

Getting Started

Follow these steps to set up the backend server locally on your machine.

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) or yarn
MongoDB (Make sure it's running locally or adjust the MONGODB_URI in the .env file accordingly)

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/sailesh307/e-cart.git

Navigate to the backend directory:
```
cd backend
```
Install the dependencies:
```
yarn install
```
Create a .env file in the root directory and add the following environment variables:
```
MONGODB_URI=<your-mongodb-uri>
JWT_SECRET=<your-jwt-secret>
```
example:
```
 MONGODB_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017/e-cart
 JWT_SECRET=secret
```
Note: The JWT_SECRET can be any string of your choice.
Start the server:
```
 yarn start
```
The server should now be running on http://localhost:5000.
