This is the change that renames:
- `Dex.getMove` -> `Dex.moves.get`
- `Dex.getAbility` -> `Dex.abilities.get`
- `Dex.getItem` -> `Dex.items.get`
- `Dex.getSpecies` -> `Dex.species.get`
- `Dex.getEffect` -> `Dex.conditions.get`
- `Dex.getNature` -> `Dex.natures.get`
- `Dex.getType` -> `Dex.types.get`
- `Dex.getFormat` -> `Dex.formats.get`
In addition, some other APIs have been updated:
- `getByID` methods have also been added to every other table.
- `Dex.moves.all()` now gets an array of all moves
- Plus equivalent methods for `abilities`, `items`, `species`, `formats`, `natures`, `types`
- Note: there's no `Dex.conditions.all()`
- new API: `Dex.stats` for naming/iterating stats
- `Dex.getEffectByID` -> `Dex.conditions.getByID`
- `Dex.getType` -> `Dex.types.get`
- `Dex.data.Formats` -> `Dex.data.Rulesets`
- `Dex.formats` -> now an array `Dex.formats.all()`
- `Dex.getRuleTable` -> `Dex.formats.getRuleTable`
- `Dex.validateFormat` -> `Dex.formats.validate`
Team functions have been split off into a new `sim/teams` package:
- `Dex.packTeam` -> `Teams.pack`
- `Dex.fastUnpackTeam` -> `Teams.unpack`
- `Dex.generateTeam` -> `Teams.generate`
- `Dex.stringifyTeam` -> `Teams.export`
`Teams.export` has also been rewritten to better match how it works in client.
This implements #8178
`node tools/set-import [version]` can be run to create a
`@pokemon-showdown/sets` package containing sets from Smogon, usage
stats and third party sources. Some notes:
- The build is set up so that `tools/set-import/importer.ts` is
compiled to `tools/set-import/importer.js` - creating a
`.tools-dist/set-import` directory for the sole artifact was
deemed to be overkill
- The sets package is generated such that it can be used easily on
Node or in a browser (where the large set JSON can be loaded
asynchronously)
- Supported tiers/formats are mostly arbitrary - those popular
enough to have a signficant playerbase or analyses on Smogon have
been included, but additional formats can be added based on demand
- Some set information is redundant for ease of use by downstream
users: certain formes are split out and information that could
theoretically be inferred like level/ability/HP IVs are included
to simplify parsing logic and make the sets more immediately
available. This results in what should mostly be negligible
size overhead.
- In a similar vein, display versions of effect names instead of IDs
are used (name -> ID is trivial, ID -> name requires data lookup)
- All sets pass validation, provided certain simple transformations
are applied (eg. reverting `battleOnly` formes like Megas)
This tool has primarily been tested to run on Linux - running on
other platforms is not guaranteed to result in error-free output.
