AirBnB_clone

Background Context

Welcome to the AirBnB clone project! - The console

First step: Write a command interpreter to manage your AirBnB objects. This is the first step towards building your first full web application: the AirBnB clone. This first step is very important because you will use what you build during this project with all other following projects: HTML/CSS templating, database storage, API, front-end integration e.t.c

Each task is linked and will help you to:

put in place a parent class (called BaseModel) to take care of the initialization, serialization and deserialization of your future instances create a simple flow of serialization/deserialization: Instance <-> Dictionary <-> JSON string <-> file

create all classes used for AirBnB (User, State, City, Place…) that inherit from BaseModel create the first abstracted storage engine of the project: File storage. create all unittests to validate all our classes and storage engine

Usage 💻

The console works both in interactive mode and non-interactive mode, much like a Unix shell. It prints a prompt (hbnb) and waits for the user for input.

Command	Example
Run the console	./console.py
Quit the console	(hbnb) quit
Display the help for a command	(hbnb) help <command>
Create an object (prints its id)	(hbnb) create <class>
Show an object	(hbnb) show <class> <id> or (hbnb) <class>.show(<id>)
Destroy an object	(hbnb) destroy <class> <id> or (hbnb) <class>.destroy(<id>)
Show all objects, or all instances of a class	(hbnb) all or (hbnb) all <class>
Update an attribute of an object	(hbnb) update <class> <id> <attribute name> "<attribute value>" or (hbnb) <class>.update(<id>, <attribute name>, "<attribute value>")

Interactive mode (example)

$ ./console.py
(hbnb) help

Documented commands (type help <topic>):
========================================

Non-interactive mode (example)

$ echo "help" | ./console.py
(hbnb)

Documented commands (type help <topic>):
========================================

Testing 📏

Unittests for the HolbertonBnB project are defined in the tests folder. To run the entire test suite simultaneously, execute the following command:

$ python3 unittest -m discover tests

Alternatively, you can specify a single test file to run at a time:

$ python3 unittest -m tests/test_console.py
