## Description

Use [thesaurus.com](http://www.thesaurus.com/) to look up synonyms and, if
available, antonyms.

Moreover, it comes with an executable called `tcom`, which can be used to start
a search from the shell. The output is either plain-text (by default) or JSON.

## Installation

```
$ npm install -g thesaurus-com
```

Or install it into the current directory, so you can play around with it:

```
$ npm install --save thesaurus-com
```

(The executable can then be found at `./node_modules/.bin/tcom`.)

## Usage

```javascript
var tcom = require('thesaurus-com');

console.log(tcom.search('never'));

// { synonyms:
// [ 'at no time',
// 'don\'t hold your breath',
// 'forget it',
// 'nevermore',
// 'no way',
// 'not at all',
// 'not ever',
// 'not in any way',
// 'not in the least',
// 'not on your life',
// 'not under any condition' ],
// antonyms: [ 'always', 'forever' ] }
```

```
$ tcom always
Synonyms: consistently, constantly, eternally, ever, everlastingly, evermore, for keeps, forevermore, in perpetuum, invariably, perpetually, regularly, repeatedly, till blue in the face, till cows come home, till hell freezes over, unceasingly, without exception
Antonyms: at no time, never
```

```
$ tcom -j always
