added some parts of code

    try {

        // get user id by paramsj or res ke body
        const userId = req.user.id;
        //get a user by id
        const user = await User.findById(userId);
        // return resposne
        res.status(200).json({
            success : true,
            message : "User data Found ",
            user
        })
         
        
    } catch (error) {
        return res.status(500).json({
            success : false,
            message : error.message,
        })
    }
} 

api :"http://localhost:4040/api/v1/user/getAUser"

// create token

        const token = jwt.sign({email : user.email,id : user._id,name : user.name},"ramkumarsha256",{
            expiresIn : "30d"
        })

        // remove password from user 
        user.password = undefined;
        user.token = token;

        const options = {
            httpOnly : true
        }

  1. This error comes when the server is trying to have more than one requests. Add return statements for all the middlewares that you are using.

    exports.getAUser = async(req,res)=>{ try {
    
        // get user id by paramsj or res ke body
        const userId = req.user.id;
        //get a user by id
        const user = await User.findById(userId);
        // return resposne
        return res.status(200).json({
            success : true,
            message : "User data Found ",
            user
        })
         
        
    } catch (error) {
        return res.status(500).json({
            success : false,
            message : error.message,
        })
    }
    }

  2. Error is straight forward. You are setting response headers somewhere in your code after the data is sent to the response object.
