2c28fc83 30
e7aeea18 31All configuration files are in the JSON standard format.
2c28fc83 32
1816f743 33**Configuration files list**:
2c28fc83 34
170bec53 35- charging stations simulator configuration: [src/assets/config.json](src/assets/config.json);
1816f743 36- charging station configuration templates: [src/assets/station-templates](src/assets/station-templates);
1c51fd1d 37- charging station configurations: [dist/assets/configurations](dist/assets/configurations);
7f818162 38- charging station RFID tags lists: [src/assets](src/assets).
2c28fc83 39
1816f743
JB		 40The charging stations simulator's configuration parameters must be within the `src/assets/config.json` file. A charging station simulator configuration template file is available at [src/assets/config-template.json](src/assets/config-template.json).
41
42All charging station configuration templates are in the directory [src/assets/station-templates](src/assets/station-templates).
43
44A list of RFID tags must be defined for the automatic transaction generator with a 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).
45
46**Configuration files hierarchy and priority**:
47
1c51fd1d 481. charging station configuration: [dist/assets/configurations](dist/assets/configurations);
1816f743 492. charging station configuration template: [src/assets/station-templates](src/assets/station-templates);
170bec53 503. charging stations simulator configuration: [src/assets/config.json](src/assets/config.json).
511780c3 51
e7aeea18 52The charging stations simulator have an automatic configuration files reload feature at change for:
511780c3 53
170bec53 54- charging stations simulator configuration;
1816f743 55- charging station configuration templates;
170bec53 56- charging station authorization RFID tags lists.
2c28fc83 57
e7aeea18
JB		 58But 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.

225
1c51fd1d 226**dist/assets/configurations/\<hashId\>.json**:
1816f743 227
a9ec2018 228The charging station configuration file is automatically generated at startup from the charging station configuration template file and is persistent.
1816f743
JB		 229
230The charging station configuration file content can be regenerated partially on matching charging station configuration template file changes. The charging station serial number is kept unchanged.
231
232#### stationInfo section
233
234The syntax is similar to charging station configuration template with some added fields like the charging station id (name) and the 'Configuration' section removed.
235
236#### configurationKey section
237
238The syntax is similar to the charging station configuration template 'Configuration' section.

JB		 240## Start
241
242To start the program, run: `npm start`.
243
175d4f46 244To start the program with a UI controller, run: `npm start:server`.
903becc3 245Then, start/stop the simulator by going to `https://<hostname:port>` in a browser. Localhost port will default to 8080. For Cloud Foundry, the port is assigned based on the `process.env.PORT` environment variable.
