This repository contains the backend code for the Furniro e-commerce furniture application. The server is built using Node.js, and it follows best practices for modern backend development. It is connected to a Supabase instance, utilizing a relational SQL database and the Sequelize ORM for managing data.

The Furniro Server is responsible for handling all backend operations for the Furniro e-commerce platform. This includes user authentication, managing user carts, tracking product likes, and more. It is designed to provide a robust and scalable backend for the application, ensuring smooth operation and efficient data management.

• User Authentication: The server handles user registration, login, and authentication, integrating securely with Supabase for managing user data.

• Cart Management: Users can add and remove items from their shopping carts. The server manages all cart-related data, ensuring that user selections are saved and updated in real-time.

• Likes System: The server tracks product likes, allowing users to like their favorite items. This data is stored in the SQL database, with Sequelize managing the relationships between users and products.

• Order Processing: Handles order placement, processing, and status tracking. The server ensures that orders are correctly logged and that inventory data is updated accordingly.

• Database Migrations: The project uses Sequelize migrations to manage changes to the database schema. This allows for smooth updates and version control of the database structure.

• RESTful API: The server exposes a RESTful API for the frontend application to interact with. This API is designed following industry best practices, ensuring clear and consistent endpoints for all operations.

• Environment Configuration: Sensitive data, such as API keys and database credentials, are managed through environment variables, keeping the server secure and the codebase clean.
