What feature?

Feature - Basic Express Backend and Complete Authentication

Description

I went through the already created issues; many require a database and backend to function effectively. So, I propose implementing a Node ExpressJS Backend Server and MongoDB NoSQL database.
Heres what I will implement under this issue: -

• Basic Express server which includes following
  • Server Health check route
  • User, Session Models
  • Auth Middlware and Controllers
  • JWT tokens (Access tokens and Refresh tokens for rotation)
  • OAuth2 and Multi-Factor Auth [ @712Kunal ]
  • Error Handler Middleware
  • Multer File Input Handling Middleware [ @712Kunal ]
  • Cloudinary Service integration [ @712Kunal ]
  • Winston Server Side Logging
  • Zod Input Validation
• Basic Frontend Authentication Pages and Components
  • Sign Up and Login Pages
  • Axios Interceptors for request response management
  • Background Access Token rotation
  • Auth State management
  • Profile Page [ @712Kunal - 🌟 Add Portfolio Building Features 💌 & Get 8 Benefits 🌟 #602 ]

For this large Issue, I would request the mentor to please assign both of us, me and @712Kunal (my friend and fellow SWOC contributor) to this issue. We together will work on the issue due to is scale and magnitude.

Add screenshots

UI wise at the moment I dont have many screenshots or figma files of the changes as most of the work I will be doing is in the backend. But overall, We will try our best to stick to the current UI philosophy of the website, which by my observations is very much MUI (Material UI) themed. So we will stick to it in the login, signup and other components aswell.
