To install via the .NET command line interface:\n```\ndotnet add package DictionaryDotcom\n```\n\n## Retrieving a definition\n```\nDictionaryService service = new DictionaryService();\nDefinitionSet ds = await service.DefineAsync(\"departmentalize\");\nforeach (Definition def in ds.Definitions)\n{\n    Console.WriteLine(def.Class.ToString() + \" - \" + def.Description);\n    Console.WriteLine(\"\\t\" + \"Example: \" + def.Example);\n    Console.WriteLine();\n}\n```\nYou can also set a `DictionaryBook` to be used as storage for all retrieved definitions. After doing this, next time you request the same word twice from the `DictionaryService` class, the definition will be pulled from a saved copy of response from the initial request.\n\nExample:\n```\nDictionaryService service = new DictionaryService();\nDictionaryBook db = new DictionaryBook();\nservice.SetStorage(db);\nDefinitionSet ds = await service.DefineAsync(\"departmentalize\");\nforeach (Definition def in ds.Definitions)\n{\n    Console.WriteLine(def.Class.ToString() + \" - \" + def.Description);\n    Console.WriteLine(\"\\t\" + \"Example: \" + def.Example);\n    Console.WriteLine();\n}\nConsole.WriteLine(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(ds));\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftimhanewich%2Fdictionarydotcom","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ftimhanewich%2Fdictionarydotcom","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftimhanewich%2Fdictionarydotcom/lists"}
