Oh, I didn't know this, I appreciate the insight. I have been working with typescript a bit, but sidestepped back to JS for a small project because of familiarity. My next project may be typescript just to get a feel for it.
I have heard a lot of buzz about rust, but I haven't looked it up because I don't want to overwhelm myself with new things. But it does seem very popular. And I doubt there's anyone, even people unfamiliar with code, who hasn't heard of the C family!
I'm not giving up JS, since it is so popular for web development, but it does make me sad that it's so inefficient for other tasks in comparison to the other languages. Butz it also makes me kind of excited to get into some of the meatier stuff
Thanks a lot for the suggestions! Yes, I agree the performance is pretty bad. The reason is because I'm calling ALL the Pokemon data at the beginning into an array. I will optimize this after I learn more!
I'll work on adding the evolutionary line, that's a good idea.
Currently, you can search by type, but it's not by the full text of the type. I can definitely implement that. I'll add a drop-down menu next to the search field to select search criteria to filter irrelevant results.
Try using ChatGPT if you haven't. Ive used Reddit in the past for a lot of troubleshooting, but ChatGPT is easier to get the answers I'm looking for unless I asked the question myself. But there's no judgement from ChatGPT lol
I recently moved here and through my minimal interaction so far, I love it. I'm all about positive treatment and inclusion. I have only made two posts (as a somewhat personal experiment to test the waters) which would not have had any attention on Reddit, and people actually talked and congratulated me, which was a very weird but welcome experience.
And I love that the downvote arrow is removed in order to promote discussion rather than just vote and move on.
A service can always improve and get better in some ways, but the stance of beehaw is perfect imo
Cool, thanks! I only have experience with JavaScript and Python, and I personally prefer JS because Python has been confusing to me. But, I have heard Python is more efficient and easier in the long-term.
After 'mastering' JS to a sufficient ability I will put my efforts towards Python. I am stumped as to why I feel JS is easier than Python when I have also heard the opposite; that python is easier than JS
This is true to an extent, however from my experience, leftist subs are much more lenient on discourse if it isn't blatantly abrasive or offensive or trolling.
Thanks so much for this guide.ive used mastodon in the past, but it's been a while. I'm not really a fan of the short-blurb content and prefer a forum-format, so here I am!
I'm using https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon as the api. I can grab all the names but that seems very inefficient and had put a lot of load when calling it.
I'm looking at just making an array of Pokemon names to exist within the app, and search through that and then call the specific endpoint using that name.
Also, I don't expect anyone to help out, I really just wanted to show it to someone! But any comments, suggestions etc are greatly appreciated. I have less than 3 or 4 months experience with JavaScript
Hya, ha go hya, VOLCANOOO
Cool, I think I'll do the same. I wasn't popular or super active but hey, doin' my part

The search function is working now
Hey! The loading state was on purpose to show the user something was happening, but I did remove it! It didn't seem to take that long
I agree with you. It's disheartening to ask a legitimate question and get negative votes and zero comments.

Can you explain this in simple terms for simple minds like mine? And I only ask for other people like me who may wonder but not ask
Donate to the devs!

Please!
I'm all for freedom of speech, but I'm really irked by the lengths people go to just to be offensive.

This is true, hahah
Thank you!
Thanks! It doesn't work, yet. I've commented out the pre-baked search results just so they don't clutter the interface
