52 ## Installation
53
54 ### Prerequisites
55
56 Install the [node.js](https://nodejs.org/) current LTS or superior version runtime environment:
57
58 #### Windows
59
60 - [Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/):
61
62 ```powershell
63 choco install -y nodejs
64 ```
65
66 #### MacOSX
67
68 - [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/):
69
70 ```shell
71 brew install node
72 ```
73
74 #### GNU/Linux
75
76 - [NodeSource](https://github.com/nodesource/distributions) node.js binary distributions for all supported versions.
77
78 ### Development prerequisites (optional)
79
80 Install [volta](https://volta.sh/) for managing automatically the node.js runtime and package manager version:
81
82 #### Unix
83
84 ```shell
85 curl https://get.volta.sh | bash
86 ```
87
88 #### Windows
89
90 ```powershell
91 choco install volta
92 ```
93
94 Setup [volta](https://volta.sh/) with [pnpm](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm) package manager support: https://docs.volta.sh/advanced/pnpm
95
96 ### Dependencies
97
98 Enable corepack, if [volta](https://volta.sh/) is not installed and configured, and install latest pnpm version:
99
100 ```shell
101 corepack enable
102 corepack prepare pnpm@latest --activate
103 ```
104
105 In the repository root, run the following command:
106
107 ```shell
108 pnpm install
109 ```
110
111 ## Initial configuration
112
113 Copy the configuration template file [src/assets/config-template.json](./src/assets/config-template.json) to [src/assets/config.json](./src/assets/config.json).
114 Copy the RFID tags template file [src/assets/idtags-template.json](./src/assets/idtags-template.json) to [src/assets/idtags.json](./src/assets/idtags.json).
115
116 Tweak them to your needs by following the section [configuration files syntax](#configuration-files-syntax): OCPP server supervision URL(s), charging station templates, etc.
117
118 ## Start simulator
119
120 ```shell
121 pnpm start
122 ```
123
124 ## Start Web UI
125
126 See Web UI [README.md](./ui/web/README.md) for more information.
127
128 ## Configuration files syntax
129
130 All configuration files are using the JSON standard syntax.
131
132 **Configuration files locations**:
133
134 - charging stations simulator configuration: [src/assets/config.json](./src/assets/config.json);
135 - charging station configuration templates: [src/assets/station-templates](./src/assets/station-templates);
136 - charging station configurations: [dist/assets/configurations](./dist/assets/configurations);
137 - charging station RFID tags lists: [src/assets](./src/assets).
138
139 The 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).
140
141 All charging station configuration templates are in the directory [src/assets/station-templates](./src/assets/station-templates).
142
143 A list of RFID tags must be defined for the automatic transaction generator in a file with the default location and name: `src/assets/idtags.json`. A template file is available at [src/assets/idtags-template.json](./src/assets/idtags-template.json).
144
145 **Configuration files hierarchy and priority**:
146
147 1. charging station configuration: [dist/assets/configurations](./dist/assets/configurations);
148 2. charging station configuration template: [src/assets/station-templates](./src/assets/station-templates);
149 3. charging stations simulator configuration: [src/assets/config.json](./src/assets/config.json).
150
151 The charging stations simulator has an automatic configuration files reload feature at change for:
152
153 - charging stations simulator configuration;
154 - charging station configuration templates;
155 - charging station authorization RFID tags lists.
156
157 But the modifications to test have to be done to the files in the build target directory [dist/assets](./dist/assets). Once the modifications are done, they have to be reported to the matching files in the build source directory [src/assets](./src/assets) to ensure they will be taken into account at next build.

380 ### Charging station configuration
381
382 **dist/assets/configurations/\<hashId\>.json**:
383
384 The charging station configuration file is automatically generated at startup from the charging station configuration template file and is persistent.
385
386 The 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.
387
388 #### stationInfo section (optional)
389
390 The syntax is similar to charging station configuration template with some added fields like the charging station id (name) and the 'Configuration' section removed.
391
392 That section is overwritten on matching charging station configuration template file changes.
393
394 #### connectorsStatus section
395
396 The syntax is similar to charging station configuration template 'Connectors' section with some added fields.
397
398 That section is overwritten on matching charging station configuration template file changes.
399
400 #### evsesStatus section
401
402 The syntax is similar to charging station configuration template 'Evses' section with some added fields.
403
404 That section is overwritten on matching charging station configuration template file changes.
405
406 #### automaticTransactionGenerator section (optional)
407
408 The syntax is similar to the charging station configuration template 'AutomaticTransactionGenerator' section.
409
410 That section is overwritten on matching charging station configuration template file changes.
411
412 #### automaticTransactionGeneratorStatuses section
413
414 That section is not overwritten on matching charging station configuration template file changes.
415
416 #### configurationKey section (optional)
417
418 The syntax is similar to the charging station configuration template 'Configuration' section.
419
420 That section is not overwritten on matching charging station configuration template file changes.

565 Client->>UI Server: request
566 UI Server->>Client: response
567 Note over UI Server,Client: HTTP or Websocket
568 ```
569
570 ### Websocket Protocol
571
572 SRPC protocol over Websocket. PDU stands for 'Protocol Data Unit'.
573
574 - Request:
575 [`uuid`, `ProcedureName`, `PDU`]
576 `uuid`: String uniquely representing this request
577 `ProcedureName`: The procedure to run on the simulator
578 `PDU`: The parameters for said procedure
579
580 - Response:
581 [`uuid`, `PDU`]
582 `uuid`: String uniquely linking the response to the request
583 `PDU`: Response parameters to requested procedure
584
585 To learn how to use the Websocket protocol to pilot the simulator, an [Insomnia](https://insomnia.rest/) Websocket requests collection is available in [src/assets/ui-protocol](./src/assets/ui-protocol) directory.
586
587 #### Version 0.0.1
588
589 Set the Websocket header _Sec-Websocket-Protocol_ to `ui0.0.1`.
