                                                  0x00. AirBnB clone - The console
                                                  The goal of the project is to deploy on your server a simple copy of the AirBnB website.
                                                  It does not contain all features

It contains:
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)

What’s a command interpreter? Do you remember the Shell? It’s exactly the same but limited to a specific use-case

How to start a command interpreter?
1. 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
                                      $
                                      
                                      
                                    2.  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) 
                                      $

Why we use it ?

                  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
