HBNB - The Console

Description

This is the first step towards building our first full web application: an AirBnB clone. This first step consists of a custom command-line interface for data management. This console will be used to manage the objects of our AirBnB clone project. The console will be a tool to validate and verify the functionality of the project.

Usage

The console can be run both interactively and non-interactively. The console can be run by executing the following command:

./console.py

The console can also be run non-interactively by piping a command into the console. For example:

echo "help" | ./console.py

Commands

The console supports the following commands:

• EOF - Exits the console
• quit - Exits the console
• help - Displays the help message
• create - Creates a new instance of a class
• show - Displays the string representation of an instance
• destroy - Deletes an instance
• all - Displays all instances of a class
• update - Updates an instance

Examples

The following are examples of how to use the console:

(hbnb) create BaseModel

(hbnb) show BaseModel 1234-1234-1234

(hbnb) destroy BaseModel 1234-1234-1234

(hbnb) all BaseModel

(hbnb) update BaseModel 1234-1234-1234 name "John Doe"
