A pretty dictionary site.

big-dictionary

This is a little site I made for fun. It displays definitions for words, and allows users to click any word on the site to see that word's definition.

Installation

Prerequisites

You will need to install the latest Node.js to run the site locally.

You will also need to create an account at the Mashape Marketplace to get an API key for the Words API. With your Words API key, create a file in the config directory called private.config.js. Have this file export your key like so:

const config = {
    mashapeKey: 'your_api_key_here'
};

module.exports = config;

Steps

1. Clone the repository and navigate to it.
2. Run npm install from a command prompt.
3. Run npm run dev from a command prompt to build and start the site.
4. Navigate to http://localhost:8080 to view the site.
