AirBnB clone - The console

The console is the first part of the AirBnB clone project which aims to deploy a simple copy of the AirBnB website to cover all fundamental concepts of the Holberton School higher level programming track.

Overview

This first part of the project focuses on creating a command interpreter that allows to:

• create the data model.
• manage (create, update and destroy) objects via a console.
• store and persist objects to a file (JSON file).

Files and Directories

/models directory constains all classes used for the project.
basemodel.py file contains the base class (BaseModel) of all models in the project:

• user.py - file contains the User class.
• state.py - file contains the State class.
• city.py - file contains the Cityclass.
• amenity.py - file contains the Amenity class.
• place.py - file contains the Place class.
• review.py - file contains the Review class.

/models/engine directory contains the class that handles JASON serialization and deserialization.
file_storage.py - file contains FileStorage class.

/tests directory contains all unit test cases for this project.

console.py the console contains the entry point of the command interpreter.

Environment and Execution

This project was interpreted/compiled and tested on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS using python3 (version 3.4.3).

To use the console you must have pyhton3 installed and the repository cloned
(git clone git@github.com:coding-max/AirBnB_clone.git).

To start the console you only need to run ./console in the root of the repository.

The console works like this in interactive mode:

$ ./console.py
(hbnb) help
