Book Management Web Application

This project is a web application for managing a collection of books. It provides a user-friendly interface for users to view, add, update, and delete books. The backend is built with Express.js, EJS, and MongoDB, while the frontend is rendered dynamically using EJS templates.

Requirements

1. Backend Setup:

   • Create a new Express.js application.
   • Set up the server to listen on a port of your choice.

2. Connect to MongoDB:

   • Connect your Express application to a MongoDB database using Mongoose.

3. Define Book Schema:

   • Define a Mongoose schema for the book collection. Include fields for title, author, genre, and publication year.

4. Create API Endpoints:

   • Implement CRUD operations for managing books:
     • GET /books
     • GET /books/:id
     • POST /books
     • PUT /books/:id
     • DELETE /books/:id

5. Frontend Setup with EJS:

   • Set up EJS as the view engine for your Express application.
   • Create EJS templates for rendering dynamic views.

6. Render Views Dynamically:

   • Render the EJS templates with dynamic data from the backend.

7. Implement CRUD Operations:

   • Implement CRUD logic in the backend.
   • Ensure frontend views reflect changes in real-time.
