Usage

You can configure the endpoint for our client using different ways:

1. Using flags

 go run cmd/main.go [flags]

Flags:

• endpoint=ENDPOINT

2. Using environment variables

This is used in case of no passed flags

 export VARNAME="my value"
 go run cmd/main.go 

Environment variables:

• ENDPOINT

2. Using the default configurations

Our application provides default configurations in case no flags are provided and environment variables aren't set

 go run cmd/main.go 

Default configs:

  const defaultEndpoint = "/machine"

Note: calling an API with known endpoint like Pokemon() will use its endpoint by default
