An easy way to use pokeapi with promises in node.js

Install

You can install with npm!

npm install pokedex-promise

Setup

Import to your project.

var Pokedex = require('pokedex-promise');

Usage

Initialize the constructor.

var P = new Pokedex();

Use getPokemonList to return the names and resource_uri for all pokemon.

router.get('/', function(req, res) {
  P.getPokemonList
    .then(function(response) {
      res.json(response);
    })
    .catch(function(error) {
      console.log('There was an ERROR: ', error);
    });
});

Use getPokemonById to return data on a specific pokemon. Note: the ID for Pokémon is special. Use the National pokédex number as the ID to return the desired resource.

router.get('/', function(req, res) {
  P.getPokemonById(5)
    .then(function(response) {
      res.json(response);
    })
    .catch(function(error) {
      console.log('There was an ERROR: ', error);
    });
});

Use getTypeById to return data about a specific type. A Type resource represents a single Pokémon type.

router.get('/', function(req, res) {
  P.getTypeById(5)
    .then(function(response) {
      res.json(response);
    })
    .catch(function(error) {
      console.log('There was an ERROR: ', error);
    });
});

router.get('/', function(req, res) {
  P.getMoveById(5)
    .then(function(response) {
      res.json(response);
    })
    .catch(function(error) {
      console.log('There was an ERROR: ', error);
    });
});

router.get('/', function(req, res) {
  P.getAbilityById(5)
    .then(function(response) {
      res.json(response);
    })
    .catch(function(error) {
      console.log('There was an ERROR: ', error);
    });
});

Use getEggById to return data about a specific egg group. An egg group resource represents a single Pokémon egg group.

router.get('/', function(req, res) {
  P.getEggById(5)
    .then(function(response) {
      res.json(response);
    })
    .catch(function(error) {
      console.log('There was an ERROR: ', error);
    });
});

Use getDescriptionById to return data about a specific Pokémon description. A description resource represents a single Pokémon description.

router.get('/', function(req, res) {
  P.getDescriptionById(5)
    .then(function(response) {
      res.json(response);
