define

A command-line dictionary app for Oxford.

This program is a hard fork of Rican7/define which only provides support for the v2 Oxford API.

Installation

Option 1: Binary

Download the latest release from https://github.com/jakewarren/define/releases/latest

Option 2: From source

If you have a working Go environment, you can install via go get:

go get github.com/jakewarren/define/...

Configuration

Uses the configuration scheme used by Rican7/define.

Example ~/.define.conf.json:

{
    "OxfordDictionary": {
        "AppID": "abc",
        "AppKey": "abc123"
    },
}

Configuration file

A configuration file can be stored at ~/.define.conf.json and define will automatically load the values specified there.

Environment variables

Some configuration values can also be specified via environment variables. This is especially useful for API keys of different sources.

The following environment variables are read by thesaurus's sources:

• OXFORD_DICTIONARY_APP_ID
• OXFORD_DICTIONARY_APP_KEY

Acknowledgements

Very heavily based on:

• travis-g/dict
• Rican7/define
