Javascript Command Line Interface project

This is an example of a simple command line interface (CLI), written in Javascript, which persists data using a JSON file.

Run the demo

Run npm install then npm run demo to try the demo CLI.

app.js loads up an API library which is used to read and write a JSON file.

In the demo, the API has only 1 resource: "books".

The CLI is displayed to the user using lots of console.logs.

It uses a library called readline-sync to request user input.

Here are some examples to get you thinking:

Reddit-style posts with comments, upvotes and downvotes
Movie listings with times, tickets, even seating allocations
Recipe organisr, users can create recipes and add tags, search through tagged recipes

Feel free to make one of these suggestions or come up with something else.

Create a fork of this repo and clone it down to your machine.

Open lib/db.json and update the file to use an appropriate data structure for your app.

Some possible data structures for the above suggested topics can be found here.

Open app.js and start building your CLI!
