This project is the first step towards building a full web application of the AirBnB clone. In this first step we are building a console, a custom command interpreter that will be used in subsequent AirBnB projects to manage objects of our classes.
This console will allow us to do the following:
- Create a new object
- 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
- The console can be run in both interactive and non-interactive mode.
- It prints a prompt (hbnb) and waits for the user for input.
$ ./console.py
(hbnb) help
