Feature/issue 9 backend development

[mong00x]

Description:

This PR sets up the foundational backend structure for the project, addressing the initial requirements outlined in issue #9. The following tasks have been completed:

Changes Made:

Installed Dependencies:

• Installed express as the primary framework for building the API server.
• Installed nodemon (with the --force flag) to facilitate automatic server restarts during development. The --force flag was necessary due to outdated package dependencies.
• Note: Despite using the --force flag during the installation of nodemon, no other parts of the project were affected. The installation was successful, and all existing functionality remains intact.

Updated package-lock.json:

• Regenerated the package-lock.json file to reflect the latest package versions, ensuring compatibility and reducing potential conflicts during development.
• This addresses issue Chore: Update package-lock.json to the Latest Version #16

Created server.js:

• Added a server.js file within a newly created server directory.
• The server.js file contains a basic Express server setup that listens on port 3001.
• The server currently includes a simple root route (/) that returns "Hello World!" as a response.

Added server Script to package.json:

• Added a new npm script called "server" in the package.json.
• This script runs nodemon server/server.js, enabling the server to automatically restart when changes are detected during development.

Testing:

• The server has been manually tested to ensure it runs correctly on http://localhost:3001 and that the nodemon script works as expected.

Next Steps:

• Once this PR is reviewed and merged, the next step will be to start adding specific API endpoints and handling additional configurations as needed.

Just realised this PR has 2 unwanted commits b9b58e0 and 3487937. To ensure the PR is clear and focused on its addressing issue, I’m requesting that this PR be closed

I’ll be opening a new PR with the correct commits shortly after. This new PR will still address the initial setup for the backend, but without the unnecessary commits.

Thank you.
