This section will cover everything related to creating and managing movie genres. We'll concentrate on creating controllers, models, and routes that communicate with one another to accomplish the necessary tasks.

package models
import (
	"time"
	"go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/bson/primitive"

type Genre struct {
	Id         primitive.ObjectID `bson:"_id"`
	Name       *string            `json:"name" validate:"required,min=4,max=100"`
	Created_at time.Time          `json:"created_at"`
	Updated_at time.Time          `json:"updated_at"`
	Genre_id   int                `json:"genre_id" validate:"required"`
}
