Getting Started

The server-side component of a "movies" web application provides users with access to information about various movies, directors, and genres. Users can create an account, log in, update their personal information, and create a list of their favorite movies..

Feature Requirements:

• Return data (description, genre, director, image URL, whether it is featured or not) about a single movie by title to the user.
• Return data about a genre (description) by name/title (e.g. "Thriller")
• Return data about a director (bio, year of birth, year of death) by name
• Allow new users to register
• Allow users to update their user information (username, password, email, birthdate)
• Allow users to add a movie to their favorites list
• Allow users to remove a movie from their favorites list
• Allow existing users to log out

Technical Requirements:

• The API is a Node.js and Express application.
• The API uses the REST architecture with URL endpoints corresponding to the data operations listed above.

• The API uses a "package.json" file.
• The database is created using MongoDB.
• The business logic is modeled using Mongoose.
• The API provides movie information in JSON format.
• The JavaScript code is error free.
• The API is tested in Postman.
