Related products

In each individual product view, we will show five related products as suggestions. To retrieve these related products, we will set up a backend API that accepts a request at /api/products/related, as shown in the following code.

mern-marketplace/server/routes/product.routes.js:

router.route('/api/products/related/:productId')              .get(productCtrl.listRelated)router.param('productId', productCtrl.productByID)
