Script to fetch and store Dictionary.com's Word of The Day. Designed for educational purposes and daily vocab enhancement!

word-of-the-day

I wrote this script to get Dictionary.com's Word of The Day on the first line of my terminal when I open a new tab or window.

The script creates a new file wherever it is called and will store the word of the day in JSON format in a file in the same location for caching.

[
  {
    "date": "2024-04-01",
    "word": "naiveté",
    "definition": "the quality or state of having or showing a lack of experience or judgment; natural or artless simplicity."
  }
]

Once you have downloaded the script add a line to your bash or in my case .zshrc file to execute the script.

I used ts-node to execute it like so; ts-node "/path/to/WordOfTheDay.ts"
