"Structure of the AirBnb project"
Storage engine -> Json file.
Console -> cmd with python library cmd.Cmd
The first part of this project involves simulating an Airbnb application by creating a control system for the modules used on our web page. We achieve this by implementing a JSON-format database and leveraging object-oriented programming, Python data translation, and command interpretation. The result is a local database that can be easily modified using specific commands, providing a flexible and efficient way to manage data.
Python3.4+ has to be installed if you desire to use the console:
sudo apt-get install python3
To have access to the console use the following command:
git clone https://github.com/benkivuva/AirBnB_clone.git; cd AirBnB_clone
If you want to execute the console use:
python3 console.py
or
./console.py
If you want to personalize the classes and execute unit tests to confirm that your changes haven't modify the functionality use:
python3 -m unittest discover tests
| Command | Explanation |
|---|---|
| create | Creates a new instance of BaseModel, saves it (to the JSON file) and prints the id. Ex: $ create BaseModel |
| show | Prints the string representation of an instance based on the class name and id. Ex: $ show BaseModel 1234-1234-1234 |
| all | Prints all string representation of all instances based or not on the class name. Ex: $ all BaseModel |
| update | Updates an instance based on the class name and id by adding or updating attribute (save the change into the JSON file). Ex: $ update BaseModel 1234-1234-1234 email "aibnb@holbertonschool.com" |
| Command | Example |
|---|---|
| create | create [class name] |
| show | show [class name] [id] |
| all | create [class name] [id] |
| update | create [class name] [id] [arg_name] [arg_value] |
| Command | Example |
|---|---|
| [class name].all() | User.all() |
| [class name].count() | User.count() |
| [class name].show() | User.show() |
| [class name].destroy() | User.destroy() |
| [class name].update([id], [attribute name], [attribute value].all() | User.update("38f22813-2753-4d42-b37c-57a17f1e4f88", "first_name", "John") |
| (class name).update([id], [dictionary representation]) | User.update("38f22813-2753-4d42-b37c-57a17f1e4f88", {'first_name': "John", "age": 89}) |
| Class name | Attributes |
|---|---|
| BaseModel | id, created_at, updated_at |
| User | email, password, first_name, last_name |
| State | name state_id |
| City | name |
| Amenity | name |
| Place | city_id user_id name description number_rooms number_bathrooms max_guest price_by_night latitude``longitude amenity_ids |
| Review | place_id user_id text |
- every model inherits attributes from BaseModel
$ ./console.py
Now you are on interactive mode and you will see the prompt (hbnb)
input a command:
(hbnb) create User
the id of the created model will be visible in the standard output, if you do:
(hbnb) show User [id]
All the attributes of the created model will be in your screen.
use:
(hbnb) help
For a list of usable commands, to exit press Ctrl+D or type the command quit.
The console can also be used in non-interactive mode:
$ echo "create User" | ./console.py
$ echo "help" | ./console.py
The program will create a file called: file.json whenever you create a new model, it'll be store in the top folder.
Executing help command.
Getting help for a command
Creating a new user, showing the ID and updating the fields
Creating a new basemodel, counting basemodel, delete and count again
