Overview

The Pull Request captures everything for v2.0.0 of the program.

Major Changes

A list of a major changes for version 2

1. Rust Binaries

In wanting to learn more about Rust, I set out to build some small binaries that compliment the program instead of taking over core functions

Aggregation Service

Deferred to post v2

• This service aggregates all the data from the various flags of the pokemon command and returns them as one.
• Instead of having to make several calls to PokéAPI when multiple flags are present (i.e., poke-cli pokemon incineroar -s -d -m), the program makes a single call to this service, which fetches everything in one pass and hands back a combined JSON response.

Caching Service

Present in v2

• This service caches results of API calls made to PokéAPI into local temp .json file for faster repeated look ups.

2. Migration to pflag Library

• I wanted to enforce POSIX/GNU style flags (-s, --stats) so this library replaces the standard flag library.

3. Configuration Screen

• A skeleton has been created with two configuration options for users to set preferences.
• v2.0.0 will ship with two options:
  • The ability to select a theme color between blue, red, or yellow.
  • The ability to turn of the missing poke-cache binary warning message.

4. Command and Flag Updates

• A new comp command will focus on competitive Pokémon data for the TCG and VGC with additional data for Pokémon Champions. Smogon data is planned for a later version.
• The tcg command is gone and moved as an option in the new comp command.
• A new mechanics commands will branch out to several new flags over the course of the project that focuses on specific mechanics of Pokémon (mainly centered around the video games)
• The natures command is being removed in favor of a flag under a new mechanics command.
• The --defense flag under the pokemon command is having a slight rename to --defenses for consistency across the other flags in the command.
