Inner Workings

1. Each parking location has a Name, ID, Current Vehicle Count and Capacity
2. FlashParcsLite.Data has the models, repository and data context and validation logic to ensure clean data
3. FlashParcsLite.API serves the data from the sqlite database and has the following methods
   • Get All Parking Locations
   • Get Details of a single parking location
   • Post Update to Parking location to increase or decrease the vehicle count
   • In addition to the above REST methods the API also has SignalR Hub to broadcast updates in vehicle count to all the clients
4. FlashParcsLite.UI is the web front end of the application
   • It has service to fetch data from the API and serve the HTML on the web page
   • It has a drop down to select a parking location and has buttons to increase or decrease vehicle count on a location
   • Javascript makes Ajax calls to the API controller to Get or Post updates to the parking location.
   • In addition to the Ajax calls, there is a signalR client which receives updated vehicle count in the parking location.
   • Based on the vehicle count, the UI will enable or disable the button to Add or Remove Vehicle from a location.
5. Solution includes two test projects
   • Unit test project extensively uses mocks to mock out dependencies
   • Integration tests project uses an in memory data store to test the logic in repository
