The "type": "module" is an important feature introduced in ECMAScript 6 (ES6) for JavaScript modules. It is used to indicate that a JavaScript file should be treated as a module, which allows you to use ES6 module syntax for importing and exporting variables, functions, and classes. I have used the following npm packages:

express

express-session

ejs

mysql

lodash

You can view these in the dependencies list of package.json file

Database: MySQL Hosted on https://www.freesqldatabase.com
