A content management system (CMS) is a software application that allows users to create, manage, and publish digital content on the internet. A CMS simplifies the process of creating and editing digital content, making it easier for non-technical users to manage websites and other online platforms.

CMS API is built using Node.js, Express.js and Nest.js, with MongoDB as the database. I'm using the Mongoose library to interact with the database, and JWT for authentication.
Before you can run the API locally, make sure you have Node.js and MongoDB installed on your machine. You can download Node.js from the official website, and MongoDB from the MongoDB website.
