Setup instructions for the Directus Pokemon DB

Overview

The current Directus Cloud service does not have an import/export feature that includes all the data and files. Therefore, in order to try out the Fresh Pokemon code, users will need to manually import the data and files into their own database. This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to set up the database, upload images, create the Pokemon collection, import the data, and create a read-only user.

Features

  • Database Creation: Create a new database in Directus Cloud and obtain the database URL and login details.
  • Image Upload: Upload all the Pokemon images into the "Files" section using drag and drop.
  • File Data Export: Export file data as a JSON file for use in the Pokemon code.
  • Pokemon Collection Creation: Create a Pokemon collection in Directus Cloud with specific fields.
  • Data Import: Import the data from the Pokemon JSON file into the Pokemon collection.
  • Read-Only User Creation: Create a read-only user to prevent data corruption.
