parkinglotapi's Issues

Persistence of Parking Slots on new instances of app

The app is designed to use an array to store parking slots info.

/create_parking_lot?number= - Creates a Slot array of size equal to number. Initialised to 1 by default. Car/Parking Data is automatically saved to DB.

In every new instance of the app, we lose the parking slot array. So, Either hit leave/<slot-number> endpoint and make sure all parking data is deleted.

Fix

• Store Parking Lot (Slot Array) to db.
