I need a MEAN stack project (without Angular) where students can:
Register/Login using JWT authentication.
Upload Files (PDFs, Word docs, images, code files, etc.).
View & Download Files from a dashboard.
Use a Simple UI with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Store Data in MongoDB (users and file metadata).
Project Requirements:
Frontend: Plain HTML, CSS, JavaScript (no Angular).
Backend: Node.js with Express.js.
Database: MongoDB for user and file storage.
Authentication: JWT-based login/logout.
File Uploads: Multer for handling file uploads.
Folder Structure:
backend/ (Node.js, Express.js, MongoDB)
views/ (HTML pages: login, register, dashboard, file upload, file list)
public/ (CSS, JavaScript for frontend interactions)
uploads/ (Stores uploaded files)
Deployment:
Backend: Deploy on Heroku/Vercel
Frontend: Serve HTML, CSS, and JS from Express server
Database: Use MongoDB Atlas
Key Considerations:
Minimal & User-Friendly UI
Security Best Practices (JWT, password hashing, input validation)
RESTful API for handling authentication & file operations
Generate the complete end-to-end project, including all necessary code files and clear setup instructions.
I'll create a complete MEAN stack project (without Angular) with JWT authentication and file upload functionality. This will be a full-stack application with Node.js/Express backend and plain HTML/CSS/JavaScript frontend.
I've created a complete MEAN stack file upload system (without Angular) with the following features:
npm install.env filenpm run dev for developmentThe project is ready for deployment on Heroku or Vercel with MongoDB Atlas. All files include proper error handling, validation, and user feedback.
