The ALX-Holberton B&B is a complete web application, integrating database storage, a back-end API, and front-end interface in a clone of AirBnB.
This team project is part of the (Alx) Holberton School Software Engineering program.
It represents the first step towards building a full web application.
This first step consists of:
- a custom command-line interface for data management,
- and the base classes for the storage of this data.
The console works both in interactive mode and non-interactive mode, much like a Unix shell. It prints a prompt (hbnb) and waits for the user for input.
| Command | Example |
|---|---|
| Run the console | ./console.py |
| Quit the console | (hbnb) quit |
| Display the help for a command | (hbnb) help <command> |
| Create an object (prints its id) | (hbnb) create <class> |
| Show an object | (hbnb) show <class> <id> or (hbnb) <class>.show(<id>) |
| Destroy an object | (hbnb) destroy <class> <id> or (hbnb) <class>.destroy(<id>) |
| Show all objects, or all instances of a class | (hbnb) all or (hbnb) all <class> |
| Update an attribute of an object | (hbnb) update <class> <id> <attribute name> "<attribute value>" or (hbnb) <class>.update(<id>, <attribute name>, "<attribute value>") |

$Unittests for the ALX-Holberton B&B project are defined in the tests folder. To run the entire test suite simultaneously, execute the following command:
$ python3 unittest -m discover tests
Alternatively, you can specify a single test file to run at a time
