Dex

Keep track of your little monsters

A simple app that allows you to track and maintain a list of Pokemon, including any variants in a easy to read and sharable format.

Built using Python 3.8

Features

• Track and share your living Pokedex with an easy to use UI
• Pick and choose what you want to track: select wether you want to track forms, costumed variants, shiny, alolan, gender, or track every variant availible!
• Filters help you narrow down you list to exactly what you want to see
• Easy search and find other trainers using the app
• If you want to keep your data for personal use, you can hide your profile from other users

Project Setup

Requirements

• Python v3.8+
• PostgreSQL v10+
• Node v10+
• NPM v3.1+

First you will need to create you virtual environment, so open once you have checked out the repo open a terminal window and create a new directory in the root of your project:

python -m venv env

Once created you can activate it and install the requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt  
npm install

You will need to run a debug mail server in your test environment, which can be done with the following command:

python -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:8025

and you will need to create a database called dex with the user role and password dex:test (or change the connection string in the example config). Once availible you can then run the following commands to create the empty tables.

flask db init  
flask db migrate  
flask db upgrade

Once all of the above is complete, you are ready to run the site! Simply typepython -m dex and gulp in to your terminal to get started.

Images

Massive thank you to Chrales, whos work on updating the assets from PoGO makes this app looks so good! You can find his repo here.

To normalise the images and trim the empty space, you can either visit my extra repository here, or you can install ImageMagick and run the following command:

Windows Powershell:

Foreach ($f in Get-ChildItem *.png) {
    magick "$f" -fuzz 15% -trim +repage "$f"
}

Unix / Linux Bash:

for f in ./*.png; do
 magick "$f" -fuzz 15% -trim +repage "$f";
done

Play around with the parameters to see what you can do, ImageMagick is a very powerful tool.
