Introduction
I recently developed a full-stack Pokédex search engine to practice API integration and full-stack development. The project allows users to search Pokémon by name and view their stats, abilities, and images in a clean and responsive UI.
Tech Stack
- Frontend: React
- Backend: Spring Boot (Java)
- API: PokéAPI for real-time Pokémon data
Features
- Search Pokémon by name
- View stats, types, abilities, and images
- Responsive UI for smooth user experience
Note: The backend may take a few seconds to load initially due to API fetching, but subsequent searches are fast.
Challenges & Learnings
- Handling and structuring API data effectively
- Managing backend response time
