This repository contains the initial stage of a student project to build a clone of the AirBnB website. This stage implements a backend interface, or console, to manage program data. Console commands allow the user to create, update, and destroy objects and manage file storage. Using a JSON serialization/deserialization system, storage is persistent between sessions.

-
First, clone this repository.
-
Once the repository is cloned, locate the "console.py" file and run it as follows:
/AirBnB_clone$ ./console.py
-
When this command is run the following prompt should appear:
(hbnb)
-
This prompt designates you are in the "HBnB" console. There are a variety of commands available within the console program.
Commands
* create - Creates an instance based on given class
* destroy - Destroys an object based on class and UUID
* show - Shows an object based on class and UUID
* all - Shows all objects the program has access to, or all objects of a given class
* update - Updates existing attributes an object based on class name and UUID
* quit - Exits the program (EOF will as well)
Users can issue a number of console commands using an alternative syntax:
Usage: <class_name>.<command>([<id>[name_arg value_arg]|[kwargs]])
Advanced syntax is implemented for the following commands:
* all - Shows all objects the program has access to, or all objects of a given class
* count - Return number of object instances by class
* show - Shows an object based on class and UUID
* destroy - Destroys an object based on class and UUID
* update - Upd
