Favourite Pokemon

This demo illustrates how we can combine Third Party Data from https://pokeapi.co with our own backend API. The app allows users to mark Third Party data (pokemon) as 'favourites' by storing them in MongoDB.

Local Setup

• Open the terminal and run the command npm install to setup express and prisma libraries
• NOTE: postinstall will run prisma generate automatically to create the Prisma Client based on ./prisma/schema.prisma
• Add a .env file to the root of your project containing the variable DATABASE_URL with a MongoDB connection String as the value.

Deploying to Vercel

This project is compatible with Vercel. Connect your Git Repo to vercel, and add the DATABASE_URL as an environment variable during deployment.

Iteration

If you find the patterns in this demo useful, you may apply the same approach in your own project. You may be able to borrow this pattern for use in other contexts where a favourites feature is useful.
