- Help -
shows the help guide - Load -
loads the products and changes into the store - What do you have? -
Gives you the list of products & the changes - Give me {{ product_name, quantity }} -
Fetches the product, and lets you know how much that would cost, should nicely let you know if he can't find it - Take {{ money ( e.g 1.2£, 5.0) }} -
After requesting an item, use this command to slot in cash, and receive change
I opted to build a terminal application (as opposed to building a full UI set) because
- The terminal is the simplest way to get input from users(like us)
- It makes the code lean and nice, without the need for adjusting to satisfy web interfaces
- I did not want to clog the code with too many external dependencies (just to power up UI).
- It's fun
Specs are right now written in the gem and can be run by:
cd gauss && rspec
