Event Registration System API

A robust backend API for a full-featured event registration platform. This system allows administrators to manage events and enables users to register for them, with secure authentication and role-based access control.

Features ✨

• User Authentication: Secure user registration and login system using JSON Web Tokens (JWT).
• Password Hashing: Passwords are encrypted using bcrypt.js before being stored.
• Role-Based Access Control: Differentiates between regular users and admins to protect sensitive routes.
• Event Management (Admin): Admins have full CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) capabilities for events.
• Event Discovery (Public): Anyone can view a list of all available events and see the details for a specific event.
• User Registration: Authenticated users can register for events and cancel their registrations.
• Personalized Dashboard: Users can view a list of all events they have registered for.
• Scalable Architecture: Organized into a clean structure of models, views, and controllers for easy maintenance.
