Workouts App

About

This Workouts App is a full-stack CRUD application built using the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) with authentication implemented using Bcrypt and JWT. The app allows users to create, update, view, and delete workouts once they are authenticated. Contributions are welcome to improve styling, fix bugs, and add features.

Requirements

Make sure you have the following installed:

Node.js Packages

Run the following command to install the necessary packages:

npm install bcrypt jsonwebtoken mongoose express react-router-dom

Bug Fixes Needed:

[ ] Cannot add a workout once signed in - There’s an issue preventing the user from adding workouts after successfully signing in.
[ ] Authentication state not being updated - The authentication state isn’t updating correctly upon user login/logout.

Features To Be Added:

[ ] Styling - Add some basic UI/UX improvements to make the application more visually appealing.
[ ] UI Theme - Include a light/dark theme toggle to enhance the user experience.

User registration and login system using Bcrypt for password hashing and JWT for generating tokens.
