Backend build fails due to incorrect TypeScript rootDir configuration

[Himanshu4812]

🐞 Bug Description

The backend fails to build with TypeScript error TS6059 because tsconfig.json sets rootDir to src, but source files are located in routes/, models/, and middleware directories outside src.

📍 Steps to Reproduce

1. cd backend
2. npm install
3. npm run build

❌ Actual Behavior

TypeScript throws multiple TS6059 errors indicating files are outside the configured rootDir.

✅ Expected Behavior

Backend should compile successfully, or project structure / tsconfig should be aligned.

🖥️ Device & Environment

• OS: Windows
• Browser: Chrome
• Branch: main

💡 Possible fixes:

• Move routes/models/middleware inside src/, or
• Update tsconfig.json rootDir / include configuration

This would also align the README instructions (npm start), which are currently non-functional.

Could you please assign it to me?

I’ve opened a PR that fixes the backend build issue by aligning the folder structure with the TypeScript rootDir configuration, updates the necessary import paths, and ensures the backend builds and starts successfully.

Please review PR: #45
