AirBnB clone

Complete web app from front end to back end. It includes a console, a storage engine, a RESTful API and a front end with static and dynamic components.

Console

Description

We are building a command interpreter to manage objects. All other parts of the project will use this as a base, so it's an essential component of it.

How we built it:

• First, we built a parent class called BaseModel.
• We create a flow to serialize and deserialize, Instance <-> Dictionary <-> JSON string <-> file.
• Classes for the project that inherit from BaseModel.
• First abstracted storage engine of the project: File storage.
• Create unittests to validate all classes and storage engine.

How to use it?

Interactive mode:

$ ./console.py (hbnb) help

Documented commands (type help ):

EOF help quit

(hbnb) (hbnb) (hbnb) quit $

Non-interactive mode: (like the Shell project in C)

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

Documented commands (type help ):

EOF help quit (hbnb) $ $ cat test_help help $ $ cat test_help | ./console.py (hbnb)

Documented commands (type help ):
