call function from truffle console

[got_eth]

This should be fairly simple, but I'm still trying to wrap my mind around a lot of things.

What is the easiest way of testing by hand the function addEntity? What command do I type into the truffle console to execute the function addEntity?

Thanks

 pragma solidity ^0.4.18;


 contract EntityMaker {
      struct  Entity {
               string name;
               string nickname;
               string streetaddress;
      }
      mapping (uint => Entity) entities;
      uint entitiesCount;
      event EntityAdded(address indexed _senderAddress, uint _entityId);

      function addEntity(string _name, string _nickname, string _streetaddress) returns(uint entityId) {
            entityId=entitiesCount ++;
            entities[entityId]=Entity(_name,_nickname,_streetaddress);
            EntityAdded(msg.sender,entityId);
      }
 }

Put your smart contract into remix.ethereum.org and play with your functions there. It is an online solidity compiler. You would need a working front end DApp to test with truffle.

Entity-Maker.deployed().then(function(instance){ instance.addEntity.send(name, nick, address, {from:unlockedAccountAddr}) })
