Brainstorming - ParkPal/ParkingAppBackend-Host GitHub Wiki

Created this flowchart to guide development: Also typed up the following: Objects for Host Node:

SPACE:

id : INTEGER [unique ID that identifies the parking space]

used : BOOL [boolean value that represents if the spot IS occupied]

active : BOOL [boolean value that represents if the spot CAN BE occupied]

LOT:

id : INTEGER [unique ID that identifies the parking lot]

spaces : Array<INTEGER> [list of the spaces in this lot (listed according to SPACE.id)]

active : BOOL [boolean value that represents if the lot CAN BE occupied]

Functions for Host Node Software:

-readConfig() [See below]

-initConn() [Initialize Control Server Connection]

-initDB() [Check that DB exists, or create and notify]

-confirmConn() [Return true if connection is active, else false]

-dbAdd(SPACE) : bool

-dbUpdate(SPACE) : bool

-dbCheck(SPACE) : bool

-dbDelete(SPACE) : bool

Config File:

- CONTROL_SERVER: IP/DOMAIN-NAME

- UPDATE_FREQ: TIME (in seconds)

- MAX_NODES: INTEGER

Additional File Names May Include: util.py[utilities], conn.py[connection], mesh.py[mesh-connection], etc...
