The goal of the project is to deploy on your server a simple copy of the AirBnB website.
The AirBnB website operates an online marketplace for travel information and booking services. The Company offers lodging, home-stay, and tourism services via websites and mobile applications. Airbnb serves clients worldwide.
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)
$
Launching the console
$ ./console.py
(hbnb)
