• The goal of the project is to deploy on our servers a simple copy of the AirBnB website.

• By the end of the project, it will be 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)

• The command interpreter provides an interface between the user and the kernel and executes commands(shell). it enables us 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

• The command interpreter should work on both interactive and non-interactive modes.
• In interractive mode, the shell should work like:

$ ./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)
