[User Account] [Backend] Get a user

[susansli]

Story

As a system, we need to be able to fetch a user that is associated with an account.

Specifications

The flow should go something like:

• The frontend needs to send a request to the backend to validate the current session (if it exists)
• The backend needs to send a response with the correct User object And endpoint needs to be created that does this.

Acceptance

• [ ] Endpoint created and proper interfaces/documentation passed to the frontend team
• [ ] Endpoint successfully validates the existing session and returns the correct user object when it is called

To use, send a Get request to /protected/User eg. const response = await fetch('http://localhost:3333/protected/User', { method: 'GET', credentials: 'include',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', } }); if (response.ok) { const data = await response.json(); const user = data.user; document.getElementById('userDetails').innerHTML = `

User Updated Successfully!

                <p><strong>ID:</strong> ${user._id}</p>
                <p><strong>Email:</strong> ${user.email}</p>
                <p><strong>First Name:</strong> ${user.firstName}</p>
                <p><strong>Last Name:</strong> ${user.lastName}</p>
                <p><strong>Balance:</strong> ${user.balance}</p>
            `;
        }
