Description of project: This is the first step towards building your first full web application: the AirBnB clone. This first step is very important because you will use what you build during this project with all other following projects: HTML/CSS templating, database storage, API, front-end integration…

Each task is linked and will help you to:

put in place a parent class (called BaseModel) to take care of the initialization, serialization and deserialization of your future instances create a simple flow of serialization/deserialization: Instance <-> Dictionary <-> JSON string <-> file create all classes used for AirBnB (User, State, City, Place…) that inherit from BaseModel create the first abstracted storage engine of the project: File storage. create all unittests to validate all our classes and storage engine

description of the command interpreter:

a command interpreter , first step towards building first full web application: the AirBnB clone. the Goal of this Command interpreter is to be able to to manage objects of the projec, more specifically:

--Create a new object (ex: a new User or a new Place) --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

How to start it:

--To start the command interpreter, execute the console.py script in your terminal.

How to use it :

How to Use Once the shell is running, you can enter commands to perform various operations on AirBnB objects. Here are some example commands:

--help: Display help information about available commands. --create : Create a new instance of the specified object. --show : Show details of a specific object. --update : Update attributes of an object. --destroy : Delete an object. --all []: List all objects or objects of a specific type.

Examples : ` In interactive Mode: $ ./console.py (hbnb) help

Documented commands (type help ):

EOF help quit

(hbnb) (hbnb) (hbnb) quit $

In Non-Interactive Mode:

$ echo "help" | ./console.py (hbnb)` Documented commands (type help ):

EOF help quit (hbnb) $ $ cat test_help help $ $ cat test_help | ./console.py (hbnb)

Documented commands (type help ):

EOF help quit (hbnb) $
