The AirBnB clone project starts now until… the end of the first year. The goal of the project is to deploy on your server a simple copy of the Airbnb Website.

You won’t implement all the features, but be implemented in phases. After 4 months, you will have a complete web application composed by:

• A command interpreter to manipulate data without a visual interface, like in a Shell (perfect for development and debugging)
• A website (the front-end) that shows the final product to everybody: static and dynamic
• A database or files that store data (data = objects)
• An API that provides a communication interface between the front-end and your data (retrieve, create, delete, update them)

To Use the AIrBnB clone, clone the repository to your local machine and run the console.py file:

git clone https://github.com/FourtyThree43/AirBnB_clone.git cd AirBnB_clone ./console.py 

First step: Write a command interpreter to manage your AirBnB objects.

What’s a command interpreter? Do you remember the Shell? It’s exactly the same but limited to a specific use-case. In our case, we want to be able to manage the objects of our project:

• 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

Your shell should work like this in interactive mode:

$ ./console.py (hbnb) help Documented commands (type help <topic>): ======================================== EOF help quit (hbnb) (hbnb) (hbnb) quit $

But also in non-interactive mode: (like the Shell project in C)

$ echo "help" | ./console.py (hbnb) Documented commands (type help <topic>): ======================================== EOF help quit (hbnb) $ $ cat test_help help $ $ cat test_help | ./console.py (hbnb) Documented commands (type help <topic>): ======================================== EOF help quit (hbnb) $
