TypeScript support and ES6

[blai30]

Are there any plans to add typings for use with TypeScript and/or ES6 modules (import/export)?

Not right now, To be honest, I don't know how to add the types.

About ES6 modules, the package.json should be modified? Right?

[blai30]

I think package.json would have "type": "module" but I'm sure there is more to it than just that.

For what it's worth, I got it working right out of the box with Typescript + Angular.

1. I created a service file called pokedex.service.ts and added the PokeAPI wrapper in it:

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import * as Pokedex from 'pokeapi-js-wrapper';

@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root'
})

export class PokedexService {
  pokedex: Pokedex;

  constructor() {
    this.pokedex = new Pokedex.Pokedex();
  }

  async getPokemon() {
    const golduck = await this.pokedex.getPokemonByName("golduck");
    console.log(golduck);
  }
}

2. I added my service file in my app.component.ts constructor:

constructor(private pokedexService: PokedexService) {
  ...
}

3. I called the getPokemon method in the ngOnInit:

ngOnInit(): void {
  this.pokedexService.getPokemon();
}
