This API is used to get and update countries data like name and code. This rest api is using JWT token to authenticate the user.
Create a file called .env with the following variables:
MONGODB_URI= # MongoDB URI (e.g. mongodb://localhost:27017/countries-api)
PORT= # Port to run the server on (e.g. 3000)
JWT_SECRET= # Secret for JWT (e.g. 'secret')
JWT_EXPIRY= # Expiry time for JWT (e.g. '86400')
There is an initialData.js file in the root of the project. This file is used to populate the database with initial data on server start for testing purposes.
