AirBnB_clone v1 ☀️ - File storage / Console - with 🐍 Python

We made this project in order to learn how to recreate the AirBnB website, from the back-end data management to the front-end user interface.

This repo contains the first part of the project which consists in :

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

Command interpreter

console.py - is used as the "entry-point" of the command-interpreter, here's the list of available commands: - EOF - exits the console
- quit - quit the console
- emptyline - emptyline method is here overloaded, in order to do nothing when you press enter
- create - Creates a new instance based on user input
- show - Prints the string representation of an instance, format <classname> <id>
- destroy - Deletes an instance and save modifications on the JSON file
- all - Prints all string representation of all instances based on the class name or not
- update - Updates an instance, based on class name and id provided by user, by adding or updating attributes
