Problem Statement:
The code challenge is the simple project where we are building REST APIs for a local camera store who wants to expand and have
asked you to create REST APIs so that web frontend and mobile app can consume those.

Camera store has various products which are divided into categories. User can add product into cart. Also to use the system user
must login into the system.
