Environmental Variable:

These are things present in my .env that I've not included here for security reasons.

• MONGO_URI

Go to mongo db atlas and get a URI (Just google) Then replace MONGO_URI throughout the project with your URI key.

Simply create a random string in place of this throughout. eg. : ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET = dajfkjdsahfkjkf3434
