Problem statement

Design a REST API to model and manage an existing parking lot.

Parking lots consist of several floors. Each floor consists of several slots. Each slot has a slot number.

A parking lot has been created for you in the starter project. You may import the parking lot object and mutate it in memory for making changes.

Create REST APIs for:

Obtaining a ticket for an available slot, for a certain number of hours. The ticket should contain the floor and the slot number assigned to the vehicle, along with the vehicle registration number, start and expiry time. Once a ticket is issued, the slot is marked unavailable.
Exiting the parking lot. The result should mention the total number of actual hours at the time of exit.

The solution should prioritize the following:

Get started:

Jest is configured to work out of the box as the testing framework. If you prefer a different one, feel free to install and use that one instead.

$ npm install

To start the application:

$ npm start

To start the application in dev mode (auto-restart on change):

$ npm run dev

Get Availability status of a particular parking slot

GET http://localhost:3000/parking-slot/P2-S2

Allocate an available parking slot

POST http://localhost:3000/parking-allocation/MH11HJ1290

To run tests:

$ npm test
