Welcome to the AirBnB clone project! This project aims to build an AirBnB web application by implementing a command interpreter. This initial step is crucial, as it establishes the foundation for subsequent tasks such as HTML/CSS templating, database storage, API development, and front-end integration.

1. Implement a parent class (BaseModel) responsible for the initialization, serialization, and deserialization of future instances.
2. Create a simple flow of serialization/deserialization: Instance <-> Dictionary <-> JSON string <-> File.
3. Define classes for essential AirBnB objects (User, State, City, Place, etc.) that inherit from BaseModel.
4. Develop the first abstracted storage engine for the project: File storage.
5. Create comprehensive unit tests to validate all classes and the storage engine.

The command interpreter is similar to a shell but tailored for a specific use case. In this project, it allows the management of AirBnB objects, including:

• Creating a new object (e.g., User, Place).
• Retrieving an object from a file, database, etc.
• Performing operations on objects (e.g., counting, computing stats).
• Updating attributes of an object.
• Destroying an object.

1. Clone the repository.

https://github.com/wandilemawelela/AirBnB_clone.git
cd AirBnB-clone

2. Run the command interpreter in interactive mode.

Copy code
./console.py

3. Explore the documented commands and start managing your AirBnB objects!

Console Commands The AirBnB console supports the following commands: *create Usage: create

Creates a new instance of BaseModel, saves it (to the JSON file) and prints the id *show Usage: show or .show()

(hbnb) create User
(hbnb)
(hbnb) show User uid		
(hbnb) 
(hbnb) User.show(uid)
(hbnb)


*destroy: Usage: destroy <class> <id>
Deletes an instance based on the class name and id (save the change into the JSON file)
*all
Usage: all or all <class>
Prints all string representation of all instances based or not on the class name



 ```$ ./console.py
(hbnb) create BaseModel
(hbnb) create BaseModel
(hbnb) create User
(hbnb) create User
(hbnb)
(hbnb) all BaseModel



*update
Usage: update ```<class> <id>
Updates an instance based on the class name and id by adding or updating attribute

$ ./console.py (hbnb) create User (hbnb) (hbnb) update User id first_name "name" (hbnb) show User uid (hbnb) (hbnb) User.update(uid), address, "address") (hbnb) User.show(uid) (hbnb) (hbnb) User.update(uid, {'email': 'email', 'last_name': 'last_name'}
