Food App REST API

A simple RESTful API built with Node.js to manage food-related data. The API allows users to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on food items, categories, and user preferences. This API serves as the backend for a food app, providing the foundation for managing and retrieving food-related data.

Features

• CRUD operations for food items (add, update, delete, list).
• Categories to classify food items (e.g., fruits, vegetables, snacks, etc.).
• User preferences management (optional for personalized recommendations).
• Data validation to ensure correct input formats.

Tech Stack

• Node.js: JavaScript runtime for building the API.
• Express.js: Web framework for building RESTful APIs.
• MongoDB: NoSQL database for storing food items and categories.
• Mongoose: MongoDB object modeling for Node.js.
• JWT (JSON Web Tokens): For user authentication (optional, if implemented).
• dotenv: For managing environment variables.
