This project implements a cloud-based system to manage a parking lot.
Camera will recognize the license plate and ping cloud service.
The system includes two endpoints:
POST /entry?plate=123-456-789&parkingLot=382, returns the parking ticket id.
POST /exit?ticketId=1234, Returns the license plate, total parked time, the parking lot id and the charge (based on 15 minutes increments).
The charge for parking is 10$ per hour.

To start this app we need to set the environment.
First, create an Ubuntu EC2 instance on AWS.
Now we need to install Node JS, Git, clone the repo, install dependencies and finally run the app.
To do so, you can either run the following commands from the command line:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash
. ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
nvm install node
sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/tomergroisman/parking-lot-manager.git
cd parking-lot-manager
npm install
npm start

Or to create a setup.sh file and copy it's content from the corresponding file in the repo.

Our app runs on port 3000 by default, therefore we need to add this port to inbound rules in our instance's security group.
Go to your security group section, select your current security group and add new Custom TCP rule with port range 3000 and CIDR blocks 0.0.0.0/0.
* You can define any port you want - just provide the corresponding argument when starting the app.

To run the app, just run npm start <port> from project root directory.
* The port argument is not mandatory, if port was not provided, the default port will be 3000.
