Task-Application-only BACKEND

A nodejs backend run application that can be used to create users and tasks for them as well. It uses MongoDB for the provision of database. The application uses express for providing the server. It is authenticated on the client side using JWT tokens so that a user cannot retrieve another user's details or another user's task details. It is hosted on heroku.

The project uses npm version 7.6.0 and Node.js v12.20.2.
