gichbuoy / airbnb_clone Goto Github PK

• The goal of the project is to deploy on your server a simple copy of the AirBnB website.

• This project is a web application composed by:

• A command interpreter to manipulate data without a visual interface, like in a Shell (perfect for development and debugging)
• A website (the front-end) that shows the final product to everybody: static and dynamic
• A database or files that store data (data = objects)
• An API that provides a communication interface between the front-end and your data (retrieve, create, delete, update them)

• This project application will not be built all at once, but step by step:

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

• The first piece is to manipulate a powerful storage system. This storage engine will give us an abstraction between “My object” and “How they are stored and persisted”. This means: from your console code (the command interpreter itself) and from the front-end and RestAPI you will build later, you won’t have to pay attention (take care) of how your objects are stored.

• This abstraction will also allow you to change the type of storage easily without updating all of your codebase.

• The console will be a tool to validate this storage engine

Run the console

$ ./console.py

This project uses python library, unittest to run tests on all python files.

• Interactive tests

• python3 -m unittest discover tests

• Non-interactive test

• echo "python3 -m unittest discover tests" | bash

###examples Some available commands are:
