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
