HolbertonBnB

An AirBnB clone.

---

Description 🏷️

HolbertonBnB is a complete web application, integrating database storage, a back-end API, and front-end interface in a clone of AirBnB.

This team project is part of the (Alx) Holberton School Software Engineering program.
It represents the first step towards building a full web application.

This first step consists of:

• a custom command-line interface for data management,
• and the base classes for the storage of this data.

Usage 💻

The console works both in interactive mode and non-interactive mode, much like a Unix shell. It prints a prompt (hbnb) and waits for the user for input.

Command	Example
Run the console	./console.py
Quit the console	(hbnb) quit
Display the help for a command	(hbnb) help <command>
Create an object (prints its id)	(hbnb) create <class>
Show an object	(hbnb) show <class> <id> or (hbnb) <class>.show(<id>)
Destroy an object	(hbnb) destroy <class> <id> or (hbnb) <class>.destroy(<id>)
Show all objects, or all instances of a class	(hbnb) all or (hbnb) all <class>
Update an attribute of an object	(hbnb) update <class> <id> <attribute name> "<attribute value>" or (hbnb) <class>.update(<id>, <attribute name>, "<attribute value>")

Interactive mode (example)

$ ./console.py
(hbnb) help

Testing 📏

Unittests for the HolbertonBnB project are defined in the tests folder. To run the entire test suite simultaneously, execute the following command:

$ python3 unittest -m discover tests

Alternatively, you can specify a single test file to run at a time:

$ python3 unittest -m tests/test_console.py
