This exercise will be about transforming object to JSON and vice-versa. + +### Instructions + +You just landed a new job, congrats! Your new task is to build two functions to allow new users to register to your new shiny website. + +The new registration information comes as string formatted as JSON. You need to create a file `registration.py` that will have the following functions inside: + +1. `create_new_user` that will receive a `dict` and will return a new object of the class `User` provided below. To be valid, the input `dict` must have a `username` key and a `email` key to be valid. The new `User` will have the same `username` and `email` of the input `dict`. If the input `dict` is invalid, the default user will be returned. + +```python +class User: + username = 'user' + email = 'something@email.com' +``` + +2. `user_to_json` that will receive a `User` and will return the object as a string in JSON format. Be aware of the Python types that can be converted to JSON! + +### Usage + +Here is a possible `test.py` to test your functions: + +```python +import create_new_user +import user_to_json + +registration_0 = '{"username": "mario", "email": "mario@me.it"}' +registration_1 = '{"city": "Rome", "country": "Italy"}' + +user_0 = create_new_user(registration_0) +user_1 = create_new_user(registration_1) + +print(user_to_json(user_0)) +print(user_to_json(user_1)) +``` + +```console +$ python3 test.py +{"username": "mario", "email": "mario@me.it"} +{} +$ +``` + +### Hints + +- It is possible to convert an object to `dict` using the `__dict__` casting. + +```python +class C: + a = 1 + b = 2 + +my_obj = C() +my_obj_dict = my_obj.__dict__ # my_obj_dict will be a dictionary with the object my_obj values +``` + +### Notions + +- [Class and Object](https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/classes.html#a-first-look-at-classes) +- [json.loads()](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/json-loads-in-python/) +- [json.dumps()](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/json-dumps-in-python/)
