Overview

The CAPs system simulates a package delivery process, from vendor, through transit, to delivery to customer. It uses an event-driven architecture to manage package state and emit notifications throughout the delivery process. The purpose of this code is to be instructional about states, emit and on methods.

Getting Started

Run npm install.

Optional - Run npm test CAPs to run the test file.

Architecture

The CAPS system is built using Node.js and follows an event-driven architecture. It uses the EventEmitter class to manage events and event handlers. The project is structured with a modular approach, separating the logic for vendors, drivers, and the global event pool.
