Marketplace for developers. Stalls are services, merchants are APIs, coins are compute credits, thieves are hackers.

Usage

const { Market, STALL_TYPES, THIEF_TYPES, MARKET_PHASES } = require('./src/market');

const mkt = new Market('Bazaar API');
mkt.setInspector('Inspector Gadget');

// Register buyers
mkt.registerBuyer('frontend-app', 500);
mkt.registerBuyer('mobile-app', 300);

// Trade (call APIs)
mkt.trade('frontend-app', 'CRUD Corner', 3);
mkt.trade('mobile-app', 'Token Shop', 2);

// Security
mkt.hireGuard('WAF Guard');
mkt.spawnThief(THIEF_TYPES.SQL_INJECTOR);
mkt.runGuards();

// Time passes
for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) mkt.tick();
mkt.advanceDay();

console.log(mkt.marketView());
console.log(mkt.report());
