Tips before starting the server

run this in command line:

npm i bcrypt express cors dotenv express-session mysql2 path

to run the server:

node index.js or nodemon index.js or npm start

things to note for developers:

In further development when a user adds new route ex: dashboard2.html in one of existing pages, it cannot navigate to the new page that is 'dashboard2.html', since there is only navigation which has end points in node js . So therefore add an endpoint in node js using express js, to get this html file rendered for a particular route, ex:

in html:

<a href="/dashboard2">
<span>NEW DASHBOARD</span>
</a>

in node js add this route :

app.get("/dashboard2",(req,res)=>
{
    res.sendFile('dashboard2.html',{root:__dirname+'/../client/pages'});
});
