pokedex-promise-v2

An easy way to use Pokéapi v2 with promises (or callbacks as of v3) in node.js

Table of Contents

Install

You can install with Npm!

npm install pokedex-promise-v2 --save

or with Yarn!

yarn add pokedex-promise-v2

Usage

var Pokedex = require('pokedex-promise-v2');
var P = new Pokedex();

NOTE: Any function with the designation "ByName" can also be passed an integer ID. However, the functions with the designation "ById" can only be passed an integer ID. Refer to the pokeapi v2 docs to find out more about how the data is structured.

UPDATE: You can pass an array to each endpoint, it will retrive data for each array element. If you scroll down, you will find an example.

Example requests

  P.getPokemonByName('eevee') // with Promise
    .then(function(response) {
      console.log(response);
    })
    .catch(function(error) {
      console.log('There was an ERROR: ', error);
    });

  P.getPokemonByName(34, function(response, error) { // with callback
      if(!error) {
        console.log(response);
      } else {
        console.log(error)
      }
    });

  P.resource(['/api/v2/pokemon/36', 'api/v2/berry/8', 'https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/ability/9/'])
    .then(function(response) {
      console.log(response); // resource function accepts singles or arrays of URLs/paths
    });

Configuration

Pass an Object to Pokedex in order to configure it. Available options: protocol, hostName, versionPath, cacheLimit in ms, timeout in ms. Any option is optional :smile:. If no Object is passed, the Pokedex will be initialized to grab data from pokeapi.co using http with 20 seconds timeout and caching resources for 11 days.

var Pokedex = require('pokedex-promise-v2');
var options = {
  protocol: 'https',
  hostName: 'localhost:443',
  versionPath: '/api/v2/',
  cacheLimit: 100 * 1000, // 100s
  timeout: 5 * 1000 // 5s
}
var P = new Pokedex(options);

Endpoints

Berries

Use getBerryByName to return data about a specific berry.

  P.getBerryByName('cheri')
    .then(function(response) {
      console.log(response);
    })
    .catch(function(error) {
      console.log('There was an ERROR: ', error);
    });

Use getBerryFirmnessByName to return data about the firmness of a specific berry.

  P.getBerryFirmnessByName('very-soft')
    .then(function(response) {
      console.log(response);
    })

    });

Use getBerryFlavorByName to return data about the flavor of a specific berry.

    });

Array as a parameter example. It can be a mixed array. This method fetches data asynchronously. So it is quite fast :smile:

  P.getBerryByName(['cheri', 'chesto', 5])
    .then(function(response) {
      console.log(response);
    })
  // response will be an Array containing 3 Objects

Root Endpoints

For each root endpoint we provide a method to get all the items contained by that endpoint. By default the method will return every item in the endpoint. If you want you can configure its offset and limit.

offset is where to start. The first item that you will get. Default 0
limit is how many items you want to list. Default 100000

TIP: Do not pass any config Object to your call, since you will get every item and everything will be cached to your RAM.

This call will get the list of pokemon between ID 34 and ID 44

  var interval = {
    limit: 10,
    offset: 34
  }
  P.getPokemonsList(interval)
    .then(function(response) {
      console.log(response);
    })

This is what you will get:

{
  "count": 811,
  "next":  "https://pokeapi.co:443/api/v2/pokemon/?limit=11&offset=44",
  "previous": "https://pokeapi.co:443/api/v2/pokemon/?limit=11&offset=22",
  "results": [
    { 
      "url": "https://pokeapi.co:443/api/v2/pokemon/34/",

      "name": "gloom"
    }
  ]
