What will you learn?
A REPL, or Read-Eval-Print Loop, is a simple interactive programming environment that takes user input, evaluates it, and returns the result to the user. In this guided project, you'll build a Pokedex-like REPL in TypeScript that uses the PokeAPI to fetch data about Pokemon. It's a great way to put your TypeScript knowledge to the test and learn valuable skills like HTTP networking and data serialization.

the project was great. But the instructions to do was damn sh*t

Very fun project where I could understand how fetching data can be structured into a scalable type safe system which allows efficieny in organizing api protocols and caching data.

Good project to follow up the "Learn Typescript" and "Learn HTTP Client" courses to actually apply theory to practice.

Incredibly frustrating at times but very rewarding, the end felt more or less like a victory lap. It made me realize I probably have to do the TypeScript course again at some point though.

Did this in Go, so it was a great review and also good to see the differences in TypeScript!

Interesting project that tackles API usage and caching in memory in a REPL console app format.
