About the Project

Context

This project is a remake of one of my old projects (made in plain javascript and using the python framework flask as backend). In order to improve in full-stack development I decided to remake it using angular as frontend framework.

The goal of this project is to allow the user to generate a viable competitive team easily from the pokemons of his choice. Additional features have been added such as viewing the statistics of a tier. You will be able to see the average speed of the pokemon in the tier or the most represented type for example.

Made with

The fronted has been made using angular. The backend has been made using the python flask framework and neo4j for the database.

Features

This web app allows you to easily generate pokemon teams and view statistics on current tiers. The generated Pokemon teams can be easily exported in the showdown format. You can choose and lock some pokemons you really want to play with and the app will generate a team around them.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

In order to make the web app work you will need to have npm installed. You will also need python 3.X installed with the libraries listed in the requirements.txt file.

Installation

Clone this repository and follow the usage part in order to launch the app.

Usage

Launch the app locally

1. Start the database

Go to the db folder and in a terminal execute this command :

neo4j/bin/neo4j start 

2. Start the backend

In the backend/app folder execute this command :

python api.py 

3. Start the frontend

In the frontend folder execute this command to start the frontend :

ng serve 

Open http://localhost:4200/ and enjoy the webapp.

Update the app

Every month, new data are shared by smogon, in order to keep the database up to date you need to run the update.py script which will automatically update the database.

python update.py

This update can take up to a few minutes for each tier you decide to track. You can choose which tiers to track by modifying the settings.json file. Just add a property containing the name of the tier and the name of the file present on this page

"tiersTracked": {
       "GEN8OU": {
           "name" : "[Gen8] OU",
           "fileNameShowdown": "gen8ou-0.json"
       },
       "GEN8UU": {
           "name" : "[Gen8] UU",
           "fileNameShowdown": "gen8uu-0.json"
       },
       "GEN8RU": {
           "name" : "[Gen8] RU",
           "fileNameShowdown": "gen8ru-0.json"
       },
       "GEN8BDSPOU": {
           "name" : "[BDSP] OU",
           "fileNameShowdown": "gen8bdspou-0.json"
       },
       "GEN9OU":{
           "name" : "[Gen9] OU",
           "fileNameShowdown": "gen9ou-0.json"
       }
   },
