This week, I built a software engineering team generator command line application. When you run this application, it will prompt the user for information about the team manager, as well as information regarding the team members. When the user has completely built their team, an HTML file will produce a team roaster. This applications makes it quick and easy to gather necessary information about each team member.
This app is ran using Node.js, as well as the inquirer node.js package. This week challenge was to test my understanding of using the command line to run an application. It also tested my ability to create Javascript classes in order to pass the provided tests through jest.
It also assisted in developing my understanding of OOP constructors and prototypes. For each employee, I created an object that was extended from the main employee. I learned about overwritting properties but most importantly how these objects inherit features from other objects.
