Currency Client

Covers the PokéAPI's currencies section: the currencies items are bought and sold with, from Pokémon Dollars to Battle Points.

import { CurrencyClient } from 'pokenode-ts';

const api = new CurrencyClient();

const dollar = await api.getCurrencyByName('poke-dollar');

console.log(dollar.names[0].name); // "Pokémon Dollar"

Prices reference currencies

An Item carries a prices list rather than a single cost, and each entry names the currency it is denominated in. The two clients share a cache through MainClient, so resolving a price's currency costs one request no matter how many items point at it.

import { MainClient } from 'pokenode-ts';

const api = new MainClient();

const masterBall = await api.item.getItemByName('master-ball');
const [price] = masterBall.prices;

const currency = await api.currency.getCurrencyByName(price.currency.name);

console.log(currency.name, price.sell_price); // "poke-dollar" 0

Using constants

import { CurrencyClient, CURRENCIES } from 'pokenode-ts';

const api = new CurrencyClient();

const dollar = await api.getCurrencyById(CURRENCIES.POKE_DOLLAR);
