Approach to Create Expense Management System using MERN

• List all the requirement for the project and make the structure of the project accordingly.
• Chooses the required dependencies and requirement which are more suitable for the project.

For Backend:-

• Create a directory named model inside root directory.
• Create javascript files named User.js and Budget.js in the model directory for collection schema.

• Create four file of javascript inside components folder namely Expense.jsx, Home.jsx, RegistrationForm.jsx and LoginForm.jsx.

In this article, we’ll walk through the step-by-step process of creating a Expense Management System using the MERN (MongoDB, ExpressJS, React, NodeJS) stack. This project will showcase how to set up a full-stack web application where users can add their budget and put daily expenses that get deducted from the budget.
