DatamuseRb

Deprecation Warning: DatamuseRB will no longer extend the String class directly. String will only be extended within classes or modules using DatamuseRB starting in version 0.2.0. See the updated examples below.

DatamuseRb is yet another Ruby wrapper for the wonderful Datamuse API. The approach for this gem is a little different. DatamuseRb extends the Ruby String Class with Datamuse methods. Methods can be chained much like the actual Datamuse API allows.

Example: Words related to duck that start with the letter b

using DatamuseRB
"duck".means_like.spelled_like("b*")

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'datamuse_rb'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install datamuse_rb

Usage

DatamuseRB currently supports all of the /words functions. Please visit the datamuse documentation for more details. Supported Datamuse Methods Include: [means_like: :ml, sounds_like: :sl, spelled_like: :sp, related_popular_nouns: :rel_jja, related_popular_adjectives: :rel_jjb, related_synonyms: :rel_syn, related_triggers: :rel_trg, related_antonyms: :rel_ant, kind_of_hyponyms: :rel_spc, general_hyponyms: :rel_gen, comporomise_hyponyms: :rel_com, part_of_meronyms: :rel_par, frequent_followers: :rel_bga, frequent_predecessors: :rel_bgb, related_rhymes: :rel_rhy, approximate_rhymes: :rel_nry related_homophones: :rel_hom,consonant_match: :rel_cns].

Basic Usage:
