This projects creates the console for the Airbnb clone.
This project has two directories models and the test directories.
This is building a web application where people can book a temporary apartment. The console will allow users to book an apartment. For this to be possible, we create the instance called user that takes personal details from the user.
We also created other instances including state, city, amenity that allows listers to list their properties with specific descriptions of the place.
Welcome to the AirBnB clone project! Before starting, please read the AirBnB concept page.
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…
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 What’s a command interpreter? Do you remember the Shell? It’s exactly the same but limited to a specific use-case. In our case, we want to be able to manage the objects of our project:
Create a new object (ex: a new User or a new Place) Retrieve an object from a file, a database etc… Do operations on objects (count, compute stats, etc…) Update attributes of an object Destroy an object
