Installation

1. Depend on it

Add this to your package's pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  pokeapi_dart: ^[latest_version]

2. Install it

You can install packages from the command line:

with Flutter:

$ flutter pub get

Alternatively, your editor might support flutter pub get. Check the docs for your editor to learn more.

3. Import it

Now in your Dart code, you can use:

import 'package:pokeapi_dart/pokeapi_dart.dart';

Usage

import 'package:pokeapi_dart/pokeapi_dart.dart';

final api = PokeApi();

Example requests

import 'package:pokeapi_dart/pokeapi_dart.dart';

void main() async {
  final api = PokeApi();

  // with await, be sure to be in an async function (and in a try/catch)
  final golduck = await api.pokemon.get(name: 'golduck');
  print(golduck);

  // with Future
  api.pokemon.get(name: 'eevee').then((response) {
    print(response);
  });

  // get pokemon by id
  final firstPokemon = api.pokemon.get(id: 1);
  print(firstPokemon);
}

Configuration

The pokeapi_dart does not support any features for http request.

If you only want to change the http client, pass the customized client to the factory of PokeApiClient. PokeApiClient handles the request and DTO parsing. If you want to change the whole thing, use a class that extends PokeApiClient to create PokeApi.

final customClientApi = PokeApi(
  client: PokeApiClient(
    client: CustomHttpClient(), // opt
    converterFactory: CustomConverterFactory(), // opt
  ),
);

final customPokeApiClientApi = PokeApi(client: CustomPokeApiClient());

Tests

pokeapi_dart can be tested using Dart.

pub run test

Root Endpoints

Each endpoint provide a getPage method to get paged items contained by that endpoint. It can configure offset and limit.

• offset is where to start. The first item that you will get. Default 0
• limit is how many items you want to list. Default 20

This call will get the list of Pokémon between ID 35 and ID 44

PokeApi().pokemon.getPage(offset: 34, limit 10).then((response) {
  print(response);
})

This is what you will get:

{
  "count": 1118,
  "next": "https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/?offset=44&limit=10",
  "previous": "https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/?offset=24&limit=10",
  "results": [
    {
      "name": "nidoking",
