🛒 EasyMart - E-commerce Platform

EasyMart is an e-commerce platform where users can purchase products, and sellers can add products to sell.
This platform provides both functionalities, making it easy for vendors and customers to interact in one place.

📌 Project Status: Phase 1

Currently, we have implemented the first phase of the project, where:
✅ Users can sign up and log in as either a Vendor or a Customer.
✅ Authentication is handled using JWT (JSON Web Token).
✅ Emails are sent using NodeMailer.
✅ MySQL is used for storing user data.

📌 Project Status: Phase 2

In Phase 2, EasyMart was enhanced with complete role-based functionality, offering unique experiences for customers and vendors.
