Building a Full-Stack Pokédex Search Engine with React and Spring Boot

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
  • Integrating frontend and backend into a seamless full-stack application
  • Deploying a functional web application

Deployment & Live Demo

If you find this project useful, feel free to ⭐ the GitHub repository.


Conclusion

This project was a valuable exercise in full-stack development, API integration, and clean UI design. Feedback on UI/UX, code structure, and performance improvements is welcome.
