Dictionary Bot (Alpha)

A Dictionary bot for Slack! Add it as a slash command integration. Go wild. Be word crazy. Make sure to add your pearson api key to the apiKey file or it will just use the sandbox one.

Type /[command] [word_to_define] and the server will respond with a definition. Surprise bonus: the response includes the word's part of speech!

You can also use /urban after you set it up on slack to define using urban dictionary.

Using Linklater and The Pearson Dictionary API.

Many thanks to Hao and Ian for Haskell help.
