FDL WEB SCRAPPER

In this node project I show you how I made a CLI tool that scrap datas from a movies website (https://www.ticketac.com) , store them in a CSV file & print it to cli. Command line : npx scrap-movie

npx scrap-movie

I use the package named 'inquirer' to have interactions with user in CLI.I get the category choosen by user & the name of the output file .With the category I scrap data wanted by user.After that datas are printed in a table at cli and store in csv file

Configuration file : config.js

config.js export a json object which contains some reusable datas of the app and other config data
