TypeScript 4.8+ supports Lowercase for lowercase strings, which isn't
exactly what ID is, but can be used to type IDs in object keys and data
entries that previously required string. I'm calling it IDEntry in places
where it should be an ID but TypeScript doesn't support that.
Very conveniently, no additional casts will be needed when using ID
where IDEntry is expected.
It's caught at least a few bugs, which is also why I'm PRing: I didn't
write the code for the bugs it found, and don't know if it's the right
way to fix them.
This ballooned into several other type refactors.
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
This is required to add support for Stadium in unit tests. A lot of the
codebase assumes that all mods start with "gen" followed by a number,
but I don't want to touch the others at the moment.
