Hi Dhanayan,
Glad to know that the repo is helpful.
I will advise you to take the latest pull from the master branch. Create a .env file and add the following
DBURL=mongodb+srv://username:password@cluster0.qj8ln.mongodb.net/ClusterName?retryWrites=true&w=majorit

JWTSECRET=yoursecret

To generate your username and password, sign up with MongoDB atlas https://account.mongodb.com/account/login

You can google how to set up a mongo DB cluster on the MongoDB atlas. Once you have a username and password and cluster name or dbname. Update the DBURL accordingly.

For the JWTSECRET you can add any secret of your choice.

Then you can use your postman to call the API endpoints, that way you can generate yours own data in your DB.

I hope this helps.
