ngx-pokemontcg-io

The ngx-pokemontcg-io package is an Angular Library that aims to allow an easy way of interacting with the API provided by Pokemon TCG IO.

Getting Started

To start using the library, you will need to add the following dependency to your package.json

"ngx-pokemontcg-io": "1.0.0"

You will then need to import the module into your *.module.ts file. An example of this may look like:

@NgModule({
    declarations: [
    AppComponent,
    TestComponent],
    imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    AppRoutingModule,
    HttpClientModule,
    NgxPokemonTcgIoModule
    ],
    providers: [],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {}

The next step would be importing the service into the component or service where you would like to use it. This can be done like so:

constructor(private  tcg: PokemontcgIoService) {}

It is recommended that you sign up for an API key with the Pokemon TCG IO API as you will be rate limited to 1000 calls a day compared to 20,000. If you do have an API key, you are able to set it within the service like so:

this.tcg.apiKey = 'example-key';

From here you should be use the following functions which reflect the endpoints outlined here.

public getCard(cardId: string): Observable<Card>;
public searchCard(filter: Filter) Observable<SearchResult<Card>>;
public getSets(): Observable<Array<Set>>;
public searchSet(filter: Filter): Observable<SearchResult<Set>>;
public getTypes(): Observable<Array<string>>;
public getSubTypes(): Observable<Array<string>>
public getSuperTypes(): Observable<Array<string>>
public getRarities(): Observable<Array<string>>
