Bamazon is CLI Amazon-like storefront app built with:
- Node.js
- MySQL
- npm Packages
- inquirer
- mysql
- dotenv
The app welcomes the customer and displays the available products with pricing. The customer is prompted to enter the desired product by Item ID and is then asked how many they wish to purchase.
Once the quantity is entered the customer is given the total of their purchase and is asked whether they wish to purchase another item. If the answer is yes the item list is displayed again. If the answer is no the customer is thanked for shopping bamazon and the program ends.
All quantities are deducted on the back end within MySQL. The logic allows a customer to buy the maximum quantity without dropping below zero. If the desired quantity would drop inventory below zero a message informs the customer the max quantity available. The customer has the option to revise the quantity or buy something else.
