0x00. AirBnB clone - The console

Group project

Python

OOP

Description

This project is the first piece of the full AirBnB web clone. The console consist of the data model and the storage system which gives an absractioin between objects.

In this project, each task is linked to:

• put in place a parent class (called BaseModel) to take care of the initialization, serialization and deserialization of 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.

This project is basically based on building the command interpreter:

• create a new object
• 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.
