💡 Tips on how to use it

• This project is intended to simulate the backend of a parking lot workflow via API requests
• The ParkingLotManager.WebApi is fully documented, where you can find all the information about each endpoint and what it does
• Generate and manage your database via migrations
  • Run the following commands:

  dotnet ef migrations add InitialCreate
  

  dotnet ef database update
  

• You can run the script.sql to add entries to your database
• RBAC is binded to be used on GetFordBrand endpoint(Vehicles/GetFordBrand). First, you need to create an admin user(Account/CreateAdmin) and log in (Account/Login). You will receive a Bearer Token which is needed in the request.
  • Pass the Bearer Token in the "Authorization" tab on Postman. Select Type "Bearer Token"
  • Before sending a request make sure you have at least one vehicle which "brand" is "Ford"
  • 
• Set your ConnectionString inside appsettings.Development.json file
