AirBnB_clone Project

HBNB - The Console

Description

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.

Functionalities of the command interpreter

Creates new object (ex: a new User or a new Place)
Retrieves an object from a file, a database etc...
Does operations on objects (count, compute stats, etc...)
Updates attributes of an object
Destroys an object

Environment

This project is interpreted/tested on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS using python3 (version 3.12.2)

Installation

Clone this repository: git clone "https://github.com/Tafara-N/AirBnB_clone.git"
Access AirBnb directory: cd AirBnB_clone
Run hbnb(interactively): ./console and press enter
Run hbnb(non-interactively): echo "<command>" | ./console.py

File Descriptions

console.py - The console contains the entry point of the command interpreter. List of commands this console current supports:

EOF - exits console
quit - exits console
<emptyline> - Overwrites default emptyline method and does nothing
create - Creates a new instance ofBaseModel, saves it (to the JSON file) and prints the id
destroy - Deletes an instance based on the class name and id (save the change into the JSON file).
show - Prints the string representation of an instance based on the class name and id.
all - Prints all string representation of all instances based or not on the class name.
update - Updates an instance based on the class name and id by adding or updating attribute (save the change into the JSON file).

`models/` Directory contains classes used for this project

base_model.py - The BaseModel class from which future classes will be derived

def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs) - Initialization of the base model
def __str__(self) - String representation of the BaseModel class
def save(self) - Updates the attribute updated_at with the current datetime
def to_dict(self) - Returns a dictionary containing all keys/values of the instance

Classes inherited from Base Model:

`/models/engine` Directory containing File Storage class that handles JSON serialization and deserialization

file_storage.py - Serializing instances to a JSON file & deserializes back to instances

def all(self) - Returns dictionary __objects
def new(self, obj) - Sets in __objects the obj with key .id
def save(self) - Serializing __objects to the JSON file (path:__file_path)
def reload(self) - Deserializing the JSON file to __objects

`/tests` Directory contains all unit test cases of this project

test_console.py Tests classes:

class TestHBNBCommandPrompting(unitest.TestCase) - Testing the HBNB command interpreter's prompting
class TestHBNBCommandHelp (unitest.TestCase) - Testing the HBNB command interpreter's help message
class TestHBNBCommandExit (unitest.TestCase) Testing the HBNB command interpreter's quit/exit
class TestHBNBCommandCreate (unitest.TestCase) Testing the HBNB command interpreter's create
class TestHBNBCommandShow (unitest.TestCase) - Testing the HBNB command interpreter's show
class TestHBNBCommandDestroy (unitest.TestCase) - Testing the HBNB command interpreter's destroy
class TestHBNBCommandAll (unitest.TestCase) - Testing the HBNB command interpreter's all
class TestHBNBCommandUpdate (unitest.TestCase) - Testing the HBNB command interpreter's update
class TestHBNBCommandCount(unittest.TestCase) - Testing the HBNB command interpreter's count
