Create controller method

The create controller method, defined in the order controllers, is the last method that's invoked when the create order API receives a request. This method takes the order details, creates a new order, and saves it to the Order collection in MongoDB. The create controller method is implemented as follows.

mern-marketplace/server/controllers/order.controller.js:

const create = async (req, res) => {  try {    req.body.order.user = req.profile    let order = new Order(req.body.order)    let result = await order.save()    res.status(200).json(result)  } catch (err){    return res.status(400).json({      error: errorHandler.getErrorMessage(err)    })  }}

With this implemented, orders can be created and stored in the backend by any signed-in user ...
