Portal Project README

Welcome to the documentation for my Portal Project! This project is a web portal built using various technologies, including Express.js, Mongoose, Connect Flash, Express Session, Passport, Nodemailer, and EJS. The portal allows users to register for courses, receive course confirmation emails, login to edit their information, and delete their account.

Features

User Registration: Users can sign up for the portal using their email and password. Their registration data is securely stored in the database.

Course Registration: Registered users can choose and register for courses available in the portal.

Email Confirmation: Upon successful course registration, users receive an email confirmation containing details of the registered course.

User Authentication: The portal uses Passport for user authentication, ensuring secure access to user-specific features.

Profile Editing: Logged-in users can edit their profile information, such as email and password.

Account Deletion: Users can delete their accounts, and a confirmation email is sent to their registered email address.
