How?

---

1. Scrape a list of all pokémons.

2. Use GitHub API and search for every pokémon name.

3. Get a matching repository name with highest number of stars.

4. 💥💥💥

Criteria

---

The showcase only list repositories with these criteria:

- **Repository name** matches exactly the same as Pokémon name.

  - ✅ `name/pikachu`

  - ✅ `name/mr-mime`

  - ✅ `name/mr_mime`

  - ⛔️ `name/pikachu-awesome`

  - ⛔️ `name/pikachuuuu`

- **Most stars**. If there are few repositories with the same name, the one with most stars will be listed.

- **Contains description**, because... it has to be descriptive.

- **Contains `lang`**, the repository language determined by GitHub.

Dev

---

- `npm i` - install dependencies

- `npm run pokemon` - grab the pokémons

- `npm run repokemon` - grab the Github repos

  - Copy `example.env` to `.env`, configure it with Client ID and Client Secret from GitHub

  - Takes about 30 minutes to prevent API rate limit issues

- `npm run gemoji` - replace emoji names like `:smile:` to `😄`

- `npm run min-repokemon` - generate a *minified* version of `data/repokemon.json`, containing only the data that is rendered

- `npm run stats` - show stats of the collected data

- `npm run images` - download all pokémon images to `data/images` (not included in this repo)

- `npm run sprite` - generate a sprite image `data/pokemon-*.jpg` (compressed with [TinyJPG](https://tinyjpg.com/) API)

- `npm run css-min` - compress `pokemon.css` to smaller `pokemon.min.css`

- `npm start` - start a local server at `localhost:1337`
