AirBnB Clone Project

Part 1 - command interpreter

This project will entail:

• Putting in place a parent class (called BaseModel) to take care of the initialization, serialization and deserialization of future instances
• Creating a simple flow of serialization/deserialization: Instance <-> Dictionary <-> JSON string <-> file
• Creating 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

How to use it:

1. Start up the console by typing ./console.
2. Type help to see what commands are available.

Examples:

(hbnb)create BaseModel
22442c9d-2df8-4ad6-9877-fbebe5dc38eb
(hbnb)show BaseModel 22442c9d-2df8-4ad6-9877-fbebe5dc38eb
[BaseModel] (22442c9d-2df8-4ad6-9877-fbebe5dc38eb) {'updated_at': datetime.datetime(2018, 6, 13, 14, 39, 8, 949289), 'id': '22442c9d-2df8-4ad6-9877-fbebe5dc38eb', 'created_at': datetime.datetime(2018, 6, 13, 14, 39, 8, 949072)}
