Thesaurus

Look up English words in a thesaurus.

The thesaurus included is Grady Ward's Moby Project.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'thesaurus'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install thesaurus

Thesarus.lookup(word): return a list of thesaurus entries that contain the word, either as their root or in the body.

entry.root: The root word (as a String)

entry.words: The entry body, as an array of String.

require 'thesaurus'

entries = Thesaurus.lookup("bacon")
entries.each do |entry|
  puts "Root word: #{entry.root}"
  puts "Words: #{entry.words.join(", ")}"
end
