PokemonLookup

Welcome to your new gem! In this directory, you'll find the files you need to be able to package up your Ruby library into a gem. Put your Ruby code in the file lib/pokemon_lookup. To experiment with that code, run bin/console for an interactive prompt.

Classroom example of a wrapper gem. Using OOP to wrap the PokéAPI at https://pokeapi.co/

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'pokemon_lookup'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install pokemon_lookup

To see a list of Pokemon by id, try this code.

print "How many Pokemon would you like to see?: "
query_amount = gets.chomp

print "Which page would you like to see?: "
page = gets.chomp

Pokemon.print_list(page, query_amount)

• page is for pagination and has a default of 1
• query_amount is the number of pokemon on a page and has a default of 20

You can use a string or integer for page and query_amount.

Pokemon.print_list(1, 20)

To see an individual Pokemon, you can pass in the id or name of the Pokemon with the code below.

print "Type the name or id of the pokemon you want to see: "
pokemon_input = gets.chomp

pokemon = Pokemon.catch(pokemon_input)
pokemon.print_info

or

pokemon = Pokemon.catch("Pikachu")
pokemon.print_info

or

pokemon = Pokemon.catch(25)
pokemon.print_info
