1.0: The console

It is a command interpreter used to create, manage, store and persist our objects.

1.1: Features:

creates the data model
manages (create, update, destroy, etc) objects via a console / command interpreter
stores and persists objects to a file (JSON file)

1.2: Technologies:

Python

1.3: Aim:

The first piece is to manipulate a powerful storage system. This storage engine will give us an abstraction between "My object” and “How they are stored and persisted”. This means: from our console code (the command interpreter itself) and from the front-end and RestAPI we will build later, we won’t have to pay attention (take care) of how our objects are stored.

This abstraction will also allow us to change the type of storage easily without updating all of our codebase.

The console will be a tool to validate this storage engine

1.4: Getting Started:

To start the AirBnB clone's console, use the following guide:

Clone the project repository: git clone https://github.com/leonardnzekwe/AirBnB_clone
Navigate to the project directory: cd AirBnB_clone
Launch the console:
- Interactively: ./console.py
- Non-interactively: <input cmd> | ./console.py

1.5: Usage:

Execute help to display a list of available commands. Also execute help <command> to show the purpose of the command.

Classes: BaseModel, User, State, City, Amenity, Place, Review

Commands Usage:

EOF - CTRL + D
quit - quit
create - create <class_name>
help:
- help
- help <command>
all:
- all
- all <class_name>
- <class_name>.all()
count:
- count
- count <class_name>
- <class_name>.count()
destroy:
- destroy <class_name> <instance_id>
- <class name>.destroy(<id>)
show:
- show <class_name> <instance_id>
- <class name>.show(<id>)
update:
- update <class name> <id> <attribute name> "<attribute value>"
- <class name>.update(<id>, <attribute name>, <attribute value>)
- <class name>.update(<id>, <dictionary representation>)

1.6: Examples:
