Pokeon

The Pokémon Configurator providing data to Pokestage, the Pokémon Portal.

What does it do

When triggered via an HTTP endpoint Pokeon reads from a third party source of data and produces YAML files to be consumed.

Running the app

Local

npm run ncdc:serve this will boot the mock version of the Pokémon API.
npm run dev this will run a local dev version of the site against the mock.

Open http://localhost:3000/api/webhook to see it run.

With the local version runing you can run npm test to run all tests.
Or npm run test:unit to run just unit tests.
We have 3 different tests Acceptance Tests against a mock, unit tests and CDC's.

Production

npm run build
npm run start

This will run production mode against the Pokémon API.

Scope

First phase - For every trigger all data will be processed. Possible future - For every trigger only changes to data will be processed.

My Aim

To build low cost testible software that is easy for a human to read and maintain.
I want it to be easy to change and adapt to new requirements so we can move at speed.

What's going through my mind

Think about the new initiative.
Think about an ubiquitus language.
Create some basic user stories. Acceptance criteria.
Pick the first meanful one (Steel thread).
Write a test.
Write some code.
Commit.
Question what we've done... Refactor... Move some code about.
Commit.
Rebase main.
Have a cup of tea.
Continue...
Release!
Monitor!
Think about the archetecture. Perhaps some redesign.
Pick the next most valuable story.
Rinse and repeat if nessessary.
