/!\ - Heads up: This is a fork of https://github.com/PokeAPI/pokeapi-js-wrapper. This fork is meant to be a modern lightweight true browser based alternative to the original library.

How did I achieve this?

I replaced axios by redaxios and localeForage by idb-keyval and reworte it in typescript.

At the moment there's no tests for it.

pokeapi-js-wrapper

A PokeAPI wrapper intended for browsers only. Comes fully asynchronous (with localForage) and built-in cache. For a Node (server-side) wrapper see: pokedex-promise-v2

Install

✔	✔	✔	✔	✔	8+ ✔

npm install pokeapi-js-wrapper --save

Usage

const Pokedex = require("pokeapi-js-wrapper");
const P = new Pokedex.Pokedex();

<script src="https://unpkg.com/pokeapi-js-wrapper/dist/index.js"></script>
<script>
  const P = new Pokedex.Pokedex();
</script>

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 function, it will retrive data for each array element. If you scroll down, you will find two examples.

Example requests

const golduck = await P.getPokemonByName("golduck"); // with await, be sure to be in an async function (and in a try/catch)
console.log(golduck);

P.getPokemonByName("eevee") // with Promise
  .then(function (response) {
    console.log(response);
  });

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, cache, 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. We recommend to use HTTPS protocol since Pokeapi.co recently enabled HTTP->HTTPS redirects.

const Pokedex = require("pokeapi-js-wrapper");
const options = {
  protocol: "https",
  hostName: "localhost:443",
  versionPath: "/api/v2/",
  cache: true,
  timeout: 5 * 1000, // 5s
};
const P = new Pokedex.Pokedex(options);

Tests

pokeapi-js-wrapper can be tested using two strategies. One is with Node, since this package works even with Node (altough not recommended), and the other with a browser.

npm test

Or open /test/test.html in your browser. A live version can be found at gh-pages

Endpoints

Berries

Use getBerryByName to return data about a specific berry.

});

P.resource("api/v2/berry/5").then(function (response) {

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 35 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/35/",
      "name": "clefairy"
    },
    {
      "url": "...",
      "name": "..."
    },
    {
      "url": "https://pokeapi.co:443/api/v2/pokemon/44/",
      "name": "gloom"
    }
  ]
}
