Disclaimer
This is not an actual API, it is sort of like one. This package is not endorsed by, or correlated to, SpanishDict or Curiosity Media Inc., it simply scrapes www.spanishdict.com and returns data from the site.
Info
This package currently can only translate and conjugate. I will expand the project if there is enough interest.
Installation
Paste this into your command line:
npm install spanish-dict-api
Put this at the top of your JavaScript file:
const dict = require('spanish-dict-api');
Functions
Translate .translate(<word>)
The translate function translates a verb from either Spanish to English, or English to Spanish.
The function takes in one parameter, the word. This parameter can either be a string or an object with the key of word. It returns a promise which if resolved, returns an array with the translations, or if rejected returns an error.
Example:
dict.translate('ser')
.then(console.log)
.catch(console.log);
//Outputs: [ 'to be' ] Conjugate .conjugate(<options>)
The conjugate function conjugates a Spanish verb, even if the verb is already conjugated.
The function takes in one object, options. Here are the potential keys that can be used:
word: Astringwhich is the verb to be conjugated.tense: Astringwhich is the tense to be conjugated to. See further down for details.person: Astringwhich is the person to be conjugated to. See further down for details.translateOnError: Optional Abooleanwhich, if true, translates the word instead of conjugating it if the word is not a Spanish verb.
Example:
var options = {
word: 'hacer',
tense: 'preteritIndicative',
person: '4',
translateOnError: true
};
dict.conjugate(options)
.then(console.log)
.catch(console.log);
//Outputs: [ 'hicisteis' ]Tenses
