Approach to create Freelancer Portfolio Builder Application

User-friendly Interface:

• The user interface will be designed to provide a seamless experience for users to add, edit, and delete portfolios.
• Use modern design principles and UI frameworks like Material UI or Bootstrap for a clean and responsive layout.
• Implement intuitive navigation and user interactions to ensure ease of use.

Real-time Updates using React Components:

• Utilize React’s component-based architecture to create modular and reusable UI components.
• Implement real-time updates using React Hooks (e.g., useState, useEffect) or Context API for managing state and triggering re-renders when data changes.
• Use WebSocket or a real-time database like Firebase Firestore for instant updates if required.

Integration with MongoDB:

• Set up a MongoDB database to store portfolio data.
• Use Mongoose (a MongoDB object modeling tool for Node.js) to define schemas, models, and perform database operations.
• Establish a connection to MongoDB using mongoose.connect in the backend server.

RESTful API Endpoints:

• Create RESTful API endpoints in Node.js using Express.js to handle CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) for portfolios.
• Define routes for handling HTTP requests such as GET, POST, PUT, DELETE for portfolios.
• Use middleware like body-parser or express.json to parse incoming request bodies as JSON.
