Developers are often tasked with creating interfaces that make it easy for non-developers to view and interact with information stored in databases. Often these interfaces are known as Content Management Systems. This tool is to manage a company's employees using node, inquirer, and MySQL.
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
Design the following database schema containing three tables:
-
department:
- department_id - INT PRIMARY KEY
- department_name - VARCHAR(30) to hold department name
-
role:
- role_id - INT PRIMARY KEY
- title - VARCHAR(30) to hold role title
- salary - DECIMAL to hold role salary
- department_id - INT to hold reference to department role belongs to
-
employee:
- id - INT PRIMARY KEY
- first_name - VARCHAR(30) to hold employee first name
- last_name - VARCHAR(30) to hold employee last name
- role_id - INT to hold reference to role employee has
- manager_id - INT to hold reference to another employee that manager of the current employee. This field may be null if the employee has no manager
-
Manager:
- manager_id - INT PRIMARY KEY
- manager_name - VARCHAR(30) to hold the manager's name
Build a command-line application that at a minimum allows the user to:
-
Add and view departments, roles, employees: please click here to see demo video.
-
Update employee's roles: please click here
-
Update employee's manager: please click here
-
MySQL NPM package to connect to your MySQL database and perform queries.
-
InquirerJs NPM package to interact with the user via the command-line.
-
console.table to print MySQL rows to the console. There is a built-in version of
console.table, but the NPM package formats the data a little better for our purposes.
