User model

The user model will define the user details to be stored in the MongoDB database, and also handle user-related business logic such as password encryption and user data validation. The user model for this skeletal version will be basic with support for the following attributes:

Field name	Type	Description
name	String	Required field to store the user's name.
email	String	Required unique field to store the user's email and identify each account (only one account allowed per unique email).
password	String	A required field for authentication. The database will store the encrypted password and not the actual string for security purposes.
created	Date	Automatically generated timestamp when a new user account is created. ...
