This is the codebase corrsponding to this blog post on [finding available California license plates](https://blog.jonlu.ca/posts/ca-plate-checker).\n\n## Prerequisites\n\n- [Bun](https://bun.sh/)\n\n## Installation\n\n1. Clone the repository:\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/yourusername/CA-DMV-Plate-Finder.git\ncd CA-DMV-Plate-Finder\n```\n\n2. Install dependencies:\n\n```bash\nbun install\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### Running the Application\n\n```bash\nbun run find-plates\n```\n\nOr directly:\n\n```bash\nbun src/index.ts\n```\n\n### Customizing Plate Input\n\nThe application supports two methods for providing plates to check:\n\n#### Method 1: Using a plates.txt File (Recommended)\n\nCreate a `plates.txt` file in the project root with one plate per line:\n\n```\nABC123\nTESLA1\nGITHUB\nCODING\n```\n\nThe application will automatically detect and stream plates from this file.\n\n#### Method 2: Generating Combinations\n\nIf no `plates.txt` file exists, the application will generate 3-character combinations. You can modify the `getNextPlate()` generator in `src/index.ts` to customize the generation pattern:\n\n```typescript\nimport { combinationsWithReplacement } from \"combinatorial-generators\";\n\nasync function* getNextPlate(): AsyncGenerator\u003cstring\u003e {\n  const chars = \"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789\";\n\n  for (const combo of combinationsWithReplacement(chars, 3)) {\n    yield combo.join(\"\");\n  }\n}\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjonluca%2Fca-dmv-plate-finder","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjonluca%2Fca-dmv-plate-finder","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjonluca%2Fca-dmv-plate-finder/lists"}
