Developers frequently have to create interfaces that allow non-developers to easily view and interact with information stored in databases. These interfaces are called content management systems (CMS).
Your assignment this week is to build a command-line application from scratch to manage a company's employee database, using Node.js, Inquirer, and MySQL.
User Story:
AS A business owner I WANT to be able to view and manage the departments, roles, and employees in my company SO THAT I can organize and plan my business
Acceptance Criteria:
GIVEN a command-line application that accepts user input WHEN I start the application THEN I am presented with the following options: view all departments, view all roles, view all employees, add a department, add a role, add an employee, and update an employee role WHEN I choose to view all departments THEN I am presented with a formatted table showing department names and department ids WHEN I choose to view all roles THEN I am presented with the job title, role id, the department that role belongs to, and the salary for that role WHEN I choose to view all employees THEN I am presented with a formatted table showing employee data, including employee ids, first names, last names, job titles, departments, salaries, and managers that the employees report to WHEN I choose to add a department THEN I am prompted to enter the name of the department and that department is added to the database WHEN I choose to add a role THEN I am prompted to enter the name, salary, and department for the role and that role is added to the database WHEN I choose to add an employee THEN I am prompted to enter the employee’s first name, last name, role, and manager, and that employee is added to the database WHEN I choose to update an employee role THEN I am prompted to select an employee to update and their new role and this information is updated in the database
This application requires Node.js, Inquirer, console.table and mysql2. To start application run npm start. MySQL is required to store company and employee information. Run mysql -u root -p to view the database.
