An application to simulate a server that provides a customer shopping cart, inventory manager, and stock supervisor application
If running this application on a local machine, please be sure to
<npm install>
before running the application.
The CLI that faces the customers is a straightforward application that prompts the customer to choose from the available products with an ID, then enter a quantity to purchase.
Below is the view the customer will see upon running the application:
Below is a view of a successful order being placed, which will update the table on the server:
If the customer inputs an invalid quantity, the table will not be updated, the customer will be alerted to insufficient quantity, and will be prompted to re-enter a valid quantity:
After entering a valid quantity, they will see the success screen as before:
The CLI that works from the same local server provides added functionality for a product manager to manage and view the products for sale, the stock for each product, as well as track the sales for each product.
Upon login, the manager CLI will display the following:
Choosing the View Products for sale option will display product information:
Choosing View Low Inventory will display products that are below a specified threshold (in this case a stock of 5):
Choosing Add to Inventory will prompt the manager to choose a product to increase stock to, then display the updated value:
Upon choosing Add New Product the manager will see below after entering a name for the product. This list is pulled from the server's master list of departments:
After choosing a department to add the product to, they can specify the price per product and the stock they have:
The CLI for supervisors allow for a higher-level view of the overall product sales. This would be useful for sales department heads looking to get more information about profit margins and sales performance.
Upon login, the supervisor view displays:
The sales view provides a table of the current departments in the store, the department_id, and the overhead costs of the department, as well as the total profits, automatically generated on the fly from the current products database status.
Supervisors are also able to add departments to the store, if they wish. Provided below is a sample of the prompts that the supervisor would go through to add a department to the store, which also adds it to the list of tracking departments in the departments and products tables. In essence, this means that after a supervisor creates a new department, managers would immediately be able to add products to populate those departments.
