node app.js Create a new user: Send a POST request to /api/users with the following body: { "name": "John Doe", "email": "johndoe@example.com", "password": "password123" } Get all users: Send a GET request to /api/users. Access protected route: Send a GET request to /api/protected with the Authorization header set to valid-token. Model: userModel.js (defines the structure of the User). View: In this case, since we are building an API, the "view" part isn't needed. If you're building a full application with frontend, it would be handled in the client-side code. Controller: userController.js (handles the business logic for creating and retrieving users). Middleware: authMiddleware.js (used to authenticate requests).
