How vuongnguyenviethoa1111-a11y/24ct1-cnpm-soulcandle-ecommerce works
This is an Express/EJS MVC starter for a small website with home/about pages and a user-management screen, backed optionally by MongoDB. The intended request flow is browser → routes → controllers → rendered views; user requests also read or create users. Source shows two separate entry points: server.js serves the home page and static files, while src/app.js configures the MVC routes but is not imported by server.js. The database connector is likewise not invoked by either sampled entry point, so those links are not implied.
Main entry points: server.js Standalone server · app.js Express app · index.js Route index · home.controller.js Page controller
