Setup  

• Download this source code into a working directory, be sure to use the flag --recurse-submodules to clone also our submodules.

• Install the requirements using pip:

  make install
  # This will install all the required packages and libraries for using PokeAPI

• Set up the local development environment using the following command:

  make setup

• Run the server on port 8000 using the following command:

  make serve

Database setup

To build or rebuild the database by applying any CSV file update, run

make build-db

Visit localhost:8000/api/v2/ to see the running API!

Each time the build-db script is run, it will iterate over each table in the database, wipe it, and rewrite each row using the data found in data/v2/csv.

If you ever need to wipe the database use this command:

make wipe-sqlite-db

If the database schema has changed, generate any outstanding migrations and apply them

make make-migrations
