Project completed for ALX Software Engineering School.

The goal of the project is to deploy on a server a simple copy of the AirBnB website. It won’t implement all the features, only some of them to cover all fundamental concepts of the higher level programming track.

This first step is very important because it will use what you build during this project with all other following projects: HTML/CSS templating, database storage, API, front-end in

Do you remember the Shell? It’s exactly the same but limited to a specific use-case. In our case, we want to be able to manage the objects of our project:

• Create a new object (ex: a new User or a new Place)
• Retrieve an object from a file, a database etc…
• Do operations on objects (count, compute stats, etc…)
• Update attributes of an object
• Destroy an object

Your could work like this in interactive mode:

$ ./console.py
(hbnb) help

Documented commands (type help <topic>):
========================================
EOF  help  quit

(hbnb) 
(hbnb) 
(hbnb) quit
$

But also in non-interactive mode: (like the Shell project in C)

$ echo "help" | ./console.py
(hbnb)

Documented commands (type help <topic>):
========================================
EOF  help  quit
(hbnb) 
$
$ cat test_help
help
$
$ cat test_help | ./console.py
(hbnb)

Documented commands (type help <topic>):
========================================
EOF  help  quit
(hbnb) 
$

• create - create an object
• show - show an object (based on id)
• destroy - destroy an object
• all - show all objects, of one type or all types
• update - Updates an instance based on the class name and id
• quit/EOF - quit the console
• help - see descriptions of commands

To start console type in shell

AirBnB_clone$ ./console.py
(hbnb) 

To create an object use format "create " ex:

(hbnb) create BaseModel

To show an instance based on the class name and id. Ex:

(hbnb) show BaseModel 1234-1234-1234.

To Delete an instance of an object use "destroy id". Ex:

(hbnb) destroy BaseModel 1234-1234-1234.

all or all Ex:

(hbnb) all or all State

Updates an instance based on the class name and id:

(hbnb) update BaseModel 1234-1234-1234 email "aibnb@holbertonschool

help or help Ex:

(hbnb) help or help quit
 Defines quit option
(hbnb)
