Mealbox Server

Mealbox Server is a backend application designed to manage meal-related data and provide RESTful APIs for a meal delivery or management system. This server handles user authentication, meal management, order processing, and more. It is built using Node.js and Express, and connects to a database (e.g., MongoDB) to store and retrieve data.

Features

• User registration and authentication
• Meal listing and management (CRUD operations)
• Order placement and tracking
• Secure API endpoints
• Error handling and validation

How It Works

1. User Authentication:
   Users can register and log in. Authentication tokens (JWT) are used to secure protected routes.

2. Profile Management:
   Register User can update there information and addresses.

3. Meal Management:
   Meal Provider can add, update, or delete meals. Users can view available meals.

4. Order Processing:
   Authenticated users can place orders for meals. Orders are stored and can be tracked.

5. API Endpoints:
   The server exposes RESTful endpoints for all operations. Middleware ensures security and data validation.

6. Database Integration:
   All data (users, meals, orders) is stored in a database. Models define the structure and relationships.
