# Backend Project with Express and MongoDB

## Description

This project is a backend application built with Node.js, Express, and MongoDB. It serves as a RESTful API for managing a collection of items, including basic CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations. The application is designed to be a template for building scalable and maintainable backend services.

## Features

- RESTful API for CRUD operations
- Express framework for handling HTTP requests
- MongoDB for data storage
- Mongoose for object data modeling (ODM)
- Error handling middleware
- Environment configuration using dotenv

## Technologies Used

- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) - JavaScript runtime
- [Express](https://expressjs.com/) - Web framework for Node.js
- [MongoDB](https://www.mongodb.com/) - NoSQL database
- [Mongoose](https://mongoosejs.com/) - ODM for MongoDB and Node.js
- [dotenv](https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv) - Environment variable management

## Prerequisites

- Node.js installed on your local machine
- MongoDB instance running (locally or remotely)
- npm (Node Package Manager) installed

## Installation

1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/AhmedEweesKorany/blog_app_backend.git
```

2. Navigate to the project directory:
```bash
cd blog_app_backend
```

3. Install the dependencies:
```bash
npm install
```

4. Create a `.env` file in the root directory and add your MongoDB connection string and other environment variables:
```env
PORT=3000
MONGODB_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017/your-database-name
```

5. Start the server:
```bash
npm start
```
