The goal was to architect and build a solution for managing a company's employees using node, inquirer, and MySQL. 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.
The app involved building a command-line application that allows the user to:
- Add departments, roles, employees
- View departments, roles, employees
- Update employee roles
- Update employee managers
- View employees by manager
- Delete departments, roles, and employees
- View the total utilized budget of a department -- ie the combined salaries of all employees in that department
