NodeDex

What is NodeDex?

NodeDex is a Pokédex website written in TypeScript and compiled in a Node.js environment, hence the name. This is largely a project for fun, but I want to incorporate features of the popular Pokémon fansites, like Serebii, Bulbapedia, and Pokémon DB and hopefully make a site than their PokéDex sections. You can access the production build here!

How do I run it?

You can just go here but... As stated before, this project is written in TypeScript which compiles in a Node.js environment to JS. Make sure to install the typescript and ts-node packages to allow the project to run and then install all the packages specified in the package.json. Here are the commands you'll need:

$ npm install -g typscript
$ npm install -g ts-node
$ npm i
$ ts-node src/server

Then navigate to http://localhost:1996/. Why that port number? Cuz February 27, 1996

What's there now?

You can view basic dex pages for all Pokémon from generation 1 to 7 (8 is not supported by PokéAPI yet). You can navigate to /national/<National Dex Number> or /national/<Pokémon Name in Lowercase> and you will be able to see it in action. For example, if you type /national/448 or /national/lucario you'll see this:

If you click on the Japanese toggle switch at the top, you'll see this:

Will this be the final name?

Probably not, but I can't be bothered at the moment. lol
