for Hacktoberfest 2025.  \nIt’s built with **Node.js, Express.js, and MongoDB**, and set up for **easy contributions, testing, and collaboration**.  \nNew contributors can help with APIs, database models, and documentation.\n\n---\n\n## Who is this for?\n\n- Beginners making their **first open source contribution**\n- Intermediate devs learning **Node.js, Express.js, REST APIs**\n- Experienced contributors who want to **mentor others**\n\n---\n\n## Tech Stack\n\n- **Node.js** – runtime\n- **Express.js** – server framework\n- **ESLint + Prettier** – linting \u0026 formatting\n- **Jest / Supertest** – (optional) testing\n- **GitHub Actions** – CI/CD pipelines\n\n---\n\n## Quick Start\n\nSee the [Usage Guide](docs/usage.md) for full setup.\n\n```bash\n# Clone the repo\ngit clone https://github.com/OpenCodeChicago/hacktoberfest-2025-backend.git\ncd hacktoberfest-2025-backend\n```\n\n```bash\n# Install dependencies\nnpm install\n```\n\n```bash\n# Start dev server\nnpm run dev\n```\n\n---\n\n## Local Development Setup\n\nTo work on this project locally, follow these steps:\n\n1. **Set up your own MongoDB database**\n\n- You can use [MongoDB Atlas](https://www.mongodb.com/atlas/database) (free tier) or run MongoDB locally.\n\n2. **Copy environment variables**\n\n- Copy `.env.example` to `.env`:\n  ```bash\n  cp .env.example .env\n  ```\n- Fill in your own values for `MONGODB_URI` and other variables in `.env`.\n\n3. **Seed the database**\n\n- Run the seed script to populate your local database with sample data:\n  ```bash\n  npm run seed\n  ```\n\n4. **Start the development server**\n\n- Run:\n  ```bash\n  npm run dev\n  ```\n\n5. **Lint your code before committing**\n\n- Run:\n  ```bash\n  npm run lint\n  ```\n\n6. **Ready to contribute!**\n\n- Pick an issue, create a branch, and start coding.\n\n---\n\n## Features\n\n- Simple **Express.js backend** ready to extend\n- Developer-friendly setup\n- Preconfigured **linting \u0026 formatting**\n- GitHub Actions for **CI/CD**\n- Open for **community collaboration**\n\n---\n\n## Project Structure\n\n```bash\nhacktoberfest-2025-backend/\n├── .github/              #

Running Tests\n\nThis project uses [Jest](https://jestjs.io/) for unit testing.\n\n### Run all tests\n\n```bash\nnpm test\n```\n\n### Run a single test file\n\n```bash\nnpx jest __tests__/utils.test.js\n```\n\n### Notes\n\n1. Tests currently cover models, controllers, and utility functions.\n2. You can add your own test files in the **tests** folder following the same structure.\n3. Jest uses mongodb-memory-server for in-memory database testing, so you do not need to have a real MongoDB instance running for tests.\n\n---\n\n## Contributing\n\nWe welcome contributions from **everyone**!\nPlease see our [Contributing Guidelines](CONTRIBUTING.md) for details on how to get started.\n\n---\n\n## Hacktoberfest Contribution Guide\n\n1. Fork this repository\n2. Check our [Project Board](https://github.com/orgs/OpenCodeChicago/projects/2)\n\n- Look for an issue you’d like to work on\n- Comment on the issue to let others know you’re taking it\n- Maintainers may assign you to it (to avoid duplicates)\n\n3. Create a new branch:\n\n```bash\ngit checkout -b my-new-feature\n```\n\n4. Set up your local environment (see above)\n\n- Make sure your `.env` is configured and your database is seeded\n\n5. Make your changes (small, clear commits)\n6. Run `npm run lint` before pushing\n7. Open a Pull Request\n\n- All PRs are automatically checked for linting in CI\n- Tip: Start with [Good First Issues](https://github.com/OpenCodeChicago/hacktoberfest-2025-backend/labels/good%20first%20issue)\n\n---\n\n## Documentation\n\n- [Usage Guide](docs/usage.md)\n- [FAQ](docs/faq.md)\n- [Contributing
