 ### Note to Developers:-
+
 - I have added my MongoDB database URL to my Environment Variable **(.env)** file and all other secrets, so I insist to create a **(.env)** file and add necessary configuration data which is needed to be hidden from end-user/other developers.
 
 - All the API's mentioned above will work best in Postman (Preferred, becoz I use it!) for testing and development, but other apps may also be used.
