AirBnB_clone

Overview:

The goal of this project is to deploy a simple copy of the AirBnB website as part of the ALX software engineering program. At the end of 4 months, we would have built a web application composed by:

* A command interpreter to manipulate data without a visual interface.
* A static and dynamic website (the front-end) that shows the final product.
* A database and files that store data.
* An API that provides communication interface between the front-end and our data.

HBNB Stack:

Phases:

Phase one (The console):

The first piece is to build our own command line inerpreter in python, to manipulate a powerful storage engine entirely from the console to:

• create data model.
• manage (create, update, destroy, etc) objects via a console/command interpreter.
• store and persist objects to a file (JSON file).

Other phases will be documented as development effort progresses.

Files and Directories:

• models directory contains all representation of the objects used for the entire project.
• tests directory contains all unit tests.
• console.py file is the entry point of the command interpreter.
• base_model.py file is the base class of all models. It contains common elements:
  • attributes: id, created_at and updated_at
  • methods: save() and to_json()
• engine directory contains all storage classes (using the same prototype). For now, we only have file_storage.py.
• images directory contains all images used within this repository.
• hack contains the shell script that generated the AUTHORS file. If you want to use it for your project too, just wget generate-authors.sh and run it from the root directory of your project like this ./generate-authors.sh
