# dictate

Lookup words in [dictionaryapi.dev][dictionaryapi] right from the terminal

without interrupting your workflow.

[dictionaryapi]: https://dictionaryapi.dev/



## 📦 Installation

-   [crates.io][dictate]

    ```bash

    cargo install dictate

    ```

[dictate]: https://crates.io/crates/dictate

## 🚀 Usage

-   Lookup "hello" in the dictionary

    ```bash

    dictate lookup hello

    ```

    **NOTE**: This also caches the output for later `lookup`s.

-   Clean up the cached entries

    ```bash

    dictate clean -c

    ```

## 💻 Shell Completion

-   Bash

    1. Run the following

        ```bash

        mkdir -p ~/.local/share/bash-completion/completions

        dictate complete bash > ~/.local/share/bash-completion/completions/rustup

        ```

    2. Restart bash and you should have tab-completion now.

-   Zsh

    1. Append `~/.zfunc` to `fpath` in your zsh config

        **NOTICE**: Make sure to insert the following line before initializing

        `compinit`.

        ```bash

        fpath+=("$HOME/.zfunc")

        ```

    2. Create the appended directory and dump completion definition to

       `~/.zfunc/_dictate`

        ```bash

        mkdir -p ~/.zfunc

        dictate complete zsh > ~/.zfunc/_dictate

        ```

    3. Restart zsh and you should have tab-completion now.

    **NOTE**: In case it's not working yet, delete `~/.zcompdump` and restart

    your shell again.

-   Fish

    1. Run the following

        ```fish

        mkdir -p ~/.config/fish/completions

        dictate complete fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/rustup.fish

        ```

    2. Restart fish and you should have tab-completion now.
