Garage

Simple console application to park, list and search vehicles in a fixed-capacity garage. Built in C# targeting .NET 10.

Features

• Park and remove vehicles (Car, Motorcycle, Bus, Airplane, Boat)
• Search and filter vehicles by attributes (color, type, regnr, make, model)
• List vehicles and counts by type
• Optional demo data population

Requirements

• .NET 10 SDK
• Visual Studio 2026 (or any editor that supports .NET 10)
• C# language version 14.0

Quick start

1. Open the solution in Visual Studio 2026 and build.
2. Or use the .NET CLI:
   • Restore & build:

     dotnet build
     

   • Run:

     dotnet run --project Garage
     

When the app starts it will ask for a garage capacity and (optionally) whether to populate demo vehicles.

Configuration

The app reads configuration values via Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration. Example settings:

• demo (boolean) — default false. If true the app will offer to populate demo vehicles on startup.

Place configuration in appsettings.json.

Project layout (important files)

• Garage/ — core domain and application code
  • Garage.cs — generic Garage<T> storage implementation
  • Manager.cs — application flow, menus and user interactions
• Garage/UserInterface/
  • IUserInterface.cs — abstraction used by the console UI and tests
  • Menu.cs — menu model used by Manager
• Garage/Vehicles/ — vehicle types and base Vehicle class
• LICENSE — project license (MIT)

Usage notes

• Registration numbers must be unique. The app enforces uniqueness and capacity limits.
• Manager uses the configuration key demo to control demo population.
• The UI is abstracted via IUserInterface to allow easy testing or substitution.
