pokedex-nim

A CLI Pokemon Pokedex app, and companion library written in Nim, with full caching.
Cache default directory is $HOME/.cache/pokedex I don't know how that works on Windows, I only have Linux to work with, but you can define a custom cache directory with POKEDEX_CACHE_DIR environment variable. Compiling only needs standard library, and my library files from here.

pokedex.nim

Source file for the commandline application.
Basic functionality for now, will be expanded later.
Directly calls functions from the pokenim.nim library and parses them in to human-readable formats.

$ pokedex pokemon <name/id> Shows a pokemon basic details.

$ pokedex type <name/id> Shows a type and its damage relations.

$ pokedex move <name/id> Shows a moves details.

$ pokedex ability <name/id> Shows an abilities details.

$ pokedex If no sub-command given, defaults to showing detailed information about pokemon

More functionality eventually.

pokeapi.nim

Contains functions for calling directly to the API, returning json objects, and parsed Objects for convenience.

proc pokedexCacheDir*()
# shows the directory the application is currently using to store the cached json files (and sprites, when i get around to that)

proc api*(endpoint, value: string): JsonNode
# Direct library interface to the API server. Handles caching automatically.
# If cache directory doesn't exist, creates it.
# If the object exists in the cache, returns that json
# Else calls the API server, saves the response to cache (if response is found), then returns that.

proc getSpecies*(name:string):Species

proc getSpecies*(pkmn:Pokemon):Species

proc getType*(name:string): Type
# Returns a formatted Type object
# Only contains name, id and damage relations for now, more coming soon, along with convenience and wrapper functions.

proc getTypes*(pkmn:Pokemon): seq[Type]

proc getAbility*(name:string): Ability
proc getMove*(name:string): Move

proc getPokemon*(name:string):Pokemon
# Returns a formatted Pokemon object
# Only contains basic details more coming soon, along with convenience and wrapper functions.

Todo

• functions to quickly check if pokemon type effectiveness against eachother
• everything to do with moves, wether a pokemon can learn them, what levels, type effectiveness etc.
• locations for where to catch pokemon
• many other things, to expand later
