Urban Dictionary CLI

ud is a little CLI I wrote which talks to the Urban Dictionary API and returns the top result by “thumbs up” responses.

I wrote it as part of the Go training material I’m compiling for my colleagues, as it demonstrates the following:

  • Writing an HTTP client
  • Project layout
  • Vendoring
Installation
$ go get -u github.com/codingconcepts/ud
Usage

As with the website, some of the definitions and examples don’t leave much to the imagination, so user discretion is advised! Here’s an example you might not want to try in the office:

ud pink falafel hat

I leave the execution of this statement as an exercise to the user.
