AirBnB Clone

This repository is the second iteration of the project. In the first version (viewable here) I built up the intial file storage back-end and console from scratch.

In this second interation of the project, We (I and my new partner), inherited a different version of the same back-end from a different team. We then pair programmed to build up the database storage engine of the back-end.

Static

The front-end of AirBnB was designed from scratch using HTML5/CSS3 pages.

The Console

This console is a command interpreter similar to hsh, but limited to a specific use-case.

Functionalities of the console:

  • 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

This console is the first step towards building a full web application: the AirBnB clone. The console allows us to understand what works in the storage engine and what doesn't

Execution

This console works like this in interactive mode

$ ./console.py
(hbnb) help

Documented commands (type help <topic>):
========================================
EOF help quit

(hbnb) 
(hbnb) 
(hbnb) quit
$

But also in non-interactive mode

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

Documented commands (type help <topic>):
========================================
EOF help quit
(hbnb) 
$
$ cat test_help
help
$
$ cat test_help | .console.py
(hbnb)

Documented commands (type help <topic>):
========================================
EOF help quit
(hbnb)
$
