29## Configuration syntax
30
e7aeea18 31All configuration files are in the JSON standard format.
2c28fc83 32
511780c3 33The charging stations simulator's main configuration parameters must be within the `src/assets/config.json` file. A configuration template file is available at [src/assets/config-template.json](src/assets/config-template.json).
2c28fc83
JB
34
35All charging station templates are in the directory [src/assets/station-templates](src/assets/station-templates).
36
511780c3
JB
37A list of RFID tags must be defined for the automatic transaction generator with the default location and name `src/assets/authorization-tags.json`. A template file is available at [src/assets/authorization-tags-template.json](src/assets/authorization-tags-template.json).
38
e7aeea18 39The charging stations simulator have an automatic configuration files reload feature at change for:
511780c3 40

41- main configuration;
42- charging station templates;
43- authorization RFID tags.

45But the modifications to test have to be done to the files in the build result directory [dist/assets](dist/assets). Once the modifications are finished, they have to be reported or copied to the matching files in the build source directory [src/assets](src/assets) to ensure they will be taken into account at next build.
