Install

npm install promisemon --save

yarn add promisemon

Usage

var Pokedex = require('promisemon');
var P = new Pokedex();

NOTE: Refer to the pokeapi v2 docs to find out more about how the data is structured.

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

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. HTTPS is the default protocol.

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

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",
