Meanings, grammar, translation, examples, etc . should be in separate fields .

Thanks for this addon, it seems good but not the best, as it accumulates everything in the same field. There should be some options to assign different fields for grammar, translation, examples, etc.

Hello Shahzad, Thanks for using this add-on and your feedback. I want it to be useful and since it's under development, changes can be applied to better suit the users' needs.

I will try to accommodate your suggestion, either in the current format or after changing the settings from the text-based Config file to a graphical interface in the next versions.

Meanwhile, if you are interested, please provide me with more details about the final format you have in mind. Do you want examples, synonyms and antonyms, ... be separated by lines or do you mean having control of adding or not adding these specific fields?

Thanks,

Roozbeh

Yeah, it would be better to provide more settings in the text-based config file to handle the field number for definition, grammar, translation, examples, etc. Actually last night I had to use it urgently and I made some rough changes according to my note's structure. I think the following code would help you to understand what I said.

def _add_1st_meaning(editor: editor.Editor) -> None:
    '''Adds only the first meaning given by api.dictionaryapi.dev to the
    editor "Back" box.'''
    # Same as _add_all_meanings, just breaking the loop after the first definition.

    word = _get_word_from_editor(editor)

    # Gets the word from api.dictionaryapi.dev (than returns a list of length 1).
    try:
        api_json = requests.get(
            "https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/en/" + word).json()[0]
    except:
        return

    # _answer will be constructed and used to fill the "Back" box.

    _definitions: str = ''
    _grammar: str = ''
    _examples: str = ''
    _synonyms: str = ''
    _antonyms: str = ''

    # Loop to add all the meanings, plus formatting.
    for meaning in api_json['meanings']:
        try:
            _grammar += meaning['partOfSpeech'] + '; '
        except:
            pass

        for definition in meaning['definitions']:
            try:
                _definitions += definition['definition'] + '; '
            except:
                pass

            try:
                if definition['example']:
                    _examples += definition['example'] + '; '
            except:
                pass

            try:
                if definition['synonyms']:
                    _synonyms += ", ".join(definition['synonyms']) + '; '
            except:
                pass

            try:
                if definition['antonyms']:
                    _antonyms += ", ".join(definition['antonyms']) + '; '

            except:
                pass

            break
        break

    editor.note.fields[1] = _definitions + '<br><br>' + \
        _synonyms + '<br><br>' + 'Antonyms: ' + _antonyms

    editor.note.fields[3] = _examples

    editor.note.fields[2] = _grammar

    # For debugging
    # aqt.utils.showText(str(editor.note.fields[1]))

    # Applies the new content.
    editor.loadNote()

    return

Thanks Shahzad! Got your meaning, I'll work on it.

Hello Shahzad, May I know what OS you are using? Someone reported the same issue with Mac.

[Shahxad-Akram]

Hey, sorry I deleted the comment, Actually, it sounds funny, it didn't work for 2 days and then started working on its own.

Thanks for letting me know. How do you find the new version?
