AirBnB clone - The console

This repository is the first step of the simple copy of the AirBnB website. This project is about a command interpreter to manipulate data without a visual interface, like in a Shell (perfect for development and debugging)

The Console objective :

• Create your data model.
• Manage (create, update, destroy, etc) objects via a console / command interpreter.
• Store and persist objects to a file (JSON file).

Getting started

1. Clone all the repository in your terminal.

$ git@github.com:luzperdomo92/AirBnB_clone.git

3. Execute the program.

./console

You should see something like this:

(hbnb)

Note: There are other way to run the program, in non-interactive mode by simply piping the commands into the shell executable.

$ echo "help" | ./console.py

How used the console:

For run some command in the program, the syntax that you have to use is the same like a usual Shell.

($) <command> <class name> <id> <attribute name> "<attribute value>"

Example:

(hbnb) create BaseModel

or

(hbnb) update BaseModel 49faff9a-6318-451f-87b6-910505c55907 first_name "Betty"
