pokemon_api

Summary

My implementation of a Pokemon API as a Django app.

For decoupling and re-usability, the django app is created inside django_pokemon folder with a PyPI formatted setup configuration.

http://127.0.0.1:8000/pokemon/

http://127.0.0.1:8000/pokemon/?page=3

http://127.0.0.1:8000/pokemon/?search=Charmander should return one pokemon

http://127.0.0.1:8000/pokemon/?search=saur returns pokemons with "saur" in the name, such as "Bulbasaur", "Ivysaur"..

http://127.0.0.1:8000/pokemon/?hp__gte=45&attack__lte=30&defense=35 returns "Caterpie", "Smeargle" and "Spoink"

I wrote some scripts to automate creating and setting up a python virtual environment and a django project.

First, run this script to create a python virtual environment, install requirements and create a dummy django project. This will create new folders virtualenv and dummyproject.
```
./create_project_environment.sh
```
Activate the newly created virtual environment for the rest of the steps.
```
source ./virtualenv/bin/activate
```
Then, change directory into django-pokemon folder and create source distribution. This will create a django-pokemon-X.Y.tar.gz file django-pokemon/dist folder, where X,Y is the version number specified in django-pokemon/setup.cfg
```
cd django-pokemon
./package_dist.sh
```
Go to upper directory, run other script for setting up django project and db migrations.
```
cd ..
./setup_project_environment.sh
```

Inside the django project folder, run following
```
python manage.py runserver
```

Inside the django project folder, run following
```
python manage.py test pokemon
```
