# Authentication & Profile Management System
A simple full-stack web application built using **Node.js**, **Express.js**, **MongoDB** . This project provides user authentication (login and signup) and includes a profile management section where users can post notes, upload profile images, and like posts.
## Features
- **User Authentication (Login/Signup)**:
- User registration with email, password, and basic details.
- Login with email and password.
- Session management using **JWT** (JSON Web Tokens) to authenticate users.
- **Profile Section**:
- Users can view their profile and upload a profile image using **Multer**.
- Users can create, edit, and delete posts (notes) on their profile page.
- Users can like and unlike posts.
## Technologies Used
- **Node.js**: Backend JavaScript runtime environment.
- **Express.js**: Web framework for Node.js to handle routing and middleware.
- **MongoDB**: NoSQL database for storing user data and posts.
- **Mongoose**: ODM (Object Data Modeling) library for MongoDB and Node.js.
- **EJS**: Embedded JavaScript templating engine for rendering dynamic HTML views.
- **Multer**: Middleware for handling file uploads (used for profile image uploads).
- **JWT**: JSON Web Token used for session management and user authentication.
