wordreference

A Node solution for retrieving wordreference translations

wordreference exports a singles function called defineWord which asynchronously returns a translation from wordreference.

Example

import { defineWord } from "wordreference";

const definition = await defineWord("fish", "English-French");

Example Output:

    "inputWord": "fish",
    "sections": [
