The team-profile generator was a project built to demonstrate the use of Node.js to develop a command-line application that takes user-input data and outputs an HTML file that can be viewed in the browser. The generator was also an exercise in OOP, where the .js code was written in order to pass the pre-determined Jest tests.
Building the app required careful structuring of .js code to ensure that the necessary data was extractable for the final HTML file. Whilst building child functions within a single parent function was the cleanest way to structure the code it means that the data of the different employee groups (manager/engineer/intern, in this example) isn't separable. I would like in the future to make the code more flexible by allowing these employee groups to be called separately in the HTML.
To use this app you will need to first install node and npm in your local dev environment.
Step 1: Install node.js (https://nodejs.dev/en/download/)
Step 2: Create and initialize a package.json file by running the following commands in the displayed order (inside the intended directory):
$ npm init -y
$ npm install
Step 3: Install npm's Inquirer module (read more about Inquirer here : https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=inquirer)
$ npm install inquirer
Step 4: Install npm's Jest module (read more about Jest here : https://www.npmjs.com/package/jest)
$ npm install jest
Step 5: Install npm's Path module (read more about Path here : https://www.npmjs.com/package/path)
$ npm install path
Command-line inputs (driven by inquire.prompt) used to gather data
Input data collated using JS functions, and outpute as an HTML file with the help of nmp path module.
