📋 Put It Into Perspective

Welcome to the Team Profile Generator, this program is command-line application built using Node.js. Built to enable users to create team profiles by answering a series of inquirer prompts. The information provided is then used to generate a structured HTML output where each employee type have their own sections. Put it into perspective and create a visual representation of your team profile NOW!

🚀 Features:

• Optimized GUI to ensure ease of use.
  • Showcases existing Employee Array as each Employee Object is created.
• Capability of deleting existing employee objects before printing to HTML
• page-template separates Employee Array into role-specific arrays.
  • Uses collected data to create structured HTML.

🎯 Follows Best Practices:

The focus of this project was to reinforce and emphasize modern approaches. This profile generator was built using the principles of OOP and TDD. An additional feature worth highlighting is that this project utilizes:

• array.filter() to collect employee role,
• run a forEach loop on each employee type
• use map to go through each employee object and generate relevant HTML

🌐 Accessible and Open:

The repository encourages exploration and collaboration, with the codebase thoughtfully organized and easily modifiable. Feel free to delve into the code, contribute, and customize it to your needs.

💭 Developer Notes:

Currently users are capable of updating their Employee Array by deleting existing objects. Future objectives include:

• Creating capability to edit existing Employee Objects data
• Update the employee ID to include:
  • Randomly generated number ID (Default choice)
  • Manually inputted ID (Users choice)

🙏 Thank You!
