Id-En-Dictonary is a node.js module which makes Indonesian words, their relations and english meanings available as a package.

About

This packages uses the Id-Wordnet and En-Wordnet package to make the words, their meanings and relationships available to your node.js package. It also adds helper functions for other ways to access the information.

Quick Start

You can install the package via npm or yarn

yarn add id-en-dictionary

Once it has been added, you need to initialize the dictionary, like so

const dict = require('./index')

const start = async () => {
    const d = await dict.init()
    const result = d.query('mengerti')
    console.log(result)
}

start()

The dictionary can take about 4000ms to load the data in memory, it doesn't use an external database/redis yet (nor is that planned, since most queries take under 1ms, and the underlying data doesn't changes probably once a year)

query-mengerti: 1ms
dictionary.init: 3960ms (this is because it loads id-wordnet and en-wordnet into memory)

Query words

You can query for a single word with this syntax. If you want to use multiple words, replace the with _.

let result = dict.query('mengerti')

Here's a sample outlet that you can expect for the queries above

Is this credible?

We currently rely Bahasa Wordnet and Version 3.0 of Princeton University's Wordnet. Both of these are probably the most well know open wordnets. You can find other open wordnets here
