Hi Dave
Are useUnifiedTopology & useNewUrlParser still useful?

Hello Dave,
This is a good starter project one can extend and build on top of it,

Just one thing regarding the middleware, is there any advantage of declaring author_id/category_id on res object over req object,
I know that both are acceptable solutions, but for me I think I'll put it on the req object since it's initially included in the request body.


Thanks & Regards
