🚀 New Release: Library Books API v1.1.0 — Now with Auth and Enhanced Filtering!

Hey Devs! 👋

I'm excited to share that version 1.1.0 of my Library Books Backend API is now live! This update brings a bunch of quality-of-life improvements, especially for developers building full-stack apps with user authentication and MongoDB.

🔑 Key Features

🔐 User Authentication (Login + Logout)

You can now register users, securely log them in using JWT tokens, and manage access to protected routes!

📚 Book Management with MongoDB

All book data is stored in MongoDB, with support for:

• Adding new books
• Retrieving all books
• Filtering free books based on price ("Free", "0", or 0)

🛠 Improved API Responses

Consistent JSON responses across all routes — no more missing fields!

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed "Illegal arguments: string, undefined" caused by using User.find() instead of findOne().
• Resolved a MongoDB Atlas connection failure due to bad auth.
• Ensured that the price field is always included in the book data returned from the database.

🧪 Example Book Object

{
  "name": "Story Book",
  "title": "A Friend and a Foe",
  "price": "Free",
  "category": "Story",
  "image": "https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2018/01/18/09/13/book-3089857_1280.jpg"
