Pokedex

This is a basic frontend web app that allow users to search for Pokemon and display their subsequent data.

Users simply enter the name of the Pokemon they wish to fetch data from, and then the UI will update to display the data.

Get started

Install the dependencies...

cd svelte-app
npm install

...then start Rollup:

npm run dev

Navigate to localhost:8080

Building and running in production mode

To create an optimised version of the app:

npm run build

You can run the newly built app with npm run start

Single-page app mode

By default, sirv will only respond to requests that match files in public. This is to maximise compatibility with static fileservers, allowing you to deploy your app anywhere.

If you're building a single-page app (SPA) with multiple routes, sirv needs to be able to respond to requests for any path. You can make it so by editing the "start" command in package.json:

"start": "sirv public --single"

Using TypeScript

This template comes with a script to set up a TypeScript development environment, you can run it immediately after cloning the template with:

node scripts/setupTypeScript.js

Or remove the script via:

rm scripts/setupTypeScript.js

If you want to use baseUrl or path aliases within your tsconfig, you need to set up @rollup/plugin-alias to tell Rollup to resolve the aliases. For more info, see this StackOverflow question.
