## Installation
## Initial configuration
-Copy the configuration template file [src/assets/config-template.json](src/assets/config-template.json) to [src/assets/config.json](src/assets/config.json).
-Tweak it to your needs by following the section [charging stations simulator configuration](README.md#charging-stations-simulator-configuration).
+Copy the configuration template file [src/assets/config-template.json](src/assets/config-template.json) to [src/assets/config.json](src/assets/config.json).
+Copy the authorization RFID tags template file [src/assets/authorization-tags-template.json](src/assets/authorization-tags-template.json) to [src/assets/authorization-tags.json](src/assets/authorization-tags.json).
+
+Tweak them to your needs by following the section [configuration files syntax](README.md#configuration-files-syntax).
## Start
To start the program, run: `npm start`.
-To start the program with a UI controller, run: `npm start:server`.
-Then, 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.
+## Start Web UI
+
+See Web UI [README.md](src/ui/web/README.md) for more information.
## Configuration files syntax
All configuration files are in the JSON standard format.
-**Configuration files list**:
+**Configuration files locations**:
- charging stations simulator configuration: [src/assets/config.json](src/assets/config.json);
- charging station configuration templates: [src/assets/station-templates](src/assets/station-templates);
- charging station configuration templates;
- charging station authorization RFID tags lists.
-But 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.
