Instructions

You know your guests, but don't forget you have to feed them if you want to be considered as a good host.

Create a personal-shopper.mjs script that:

  • Takes a file as first argument, for example shopping-list.json
  • Takes one of these keywords as second argument:
    • create: create the file
    • delete: delete the file
    • add: add a new element to the list in the file.
      • This command line must take a third argument which is the name of the new entry in your list. If no third argument is passed, console must print this error: No elem specified..
      • This command line could take a fourth argument which is the number of elements you want for this new entry.
        • If there is no 4rth argument or the 4rth argument is NaN, 1 would be the value by default.
        • If the entry already exists, it would add 1 or more to the original value.
        • Using a negative number must behave as rm command.
    • rm: remove an element from the list in the file
      • This command line must take a third argument which is the name of the entry to remove from the list.
        • If no third argument is passed, console must print this error: No elem specified..
        • If the entry does not exists, it does nothing.
      • This command line could take a fourth argument which is the number of elements you want to delete from this entry.
        • If there is no 4rth argument: it remove the entry.
        • If the 4rth argument is NaN, nothing is removed and console must print this error Unexpected request: nothing has been removed.
        • If the 4rth argument is a number, it will substract this number from the original value (if the new value is <= 0, it will remove the entry).
        • Using a negative number must behave as add command.
    • help: print all the command lines available, with a description of it (specifications in the examples)
    • ls or no more arguments: print the list in the console.
      • Each line is formated like this: - element (number)
      • If the list is empty, this message should appear in console: Empty list..

If no keyword is passed as second argument, the helper should be printed in the console.
