2. In the dependencies: section of your pubspec.yaml, add the following line:

dependencies:
  korean_dictionary: <latest_version>

Usage

There are many options in this API but let's see simple examples of usage:

const apiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
final dict = Dictionary.koreanLearners(apiKey: apiKey);

// Use try-catch block to handle eventual http request errors
try {
// Use the "search" API method to look for Korean words.
final result = await dict.search(
    "나무",
    // You don't need to especify translation languages if you just need
    //  information in Korean language.
    transLang: {TranslationLanguage.english},
);
for (final item in result) {
    // Even just with the search method you can already get many useful
    //  information like the word translations and definitions
    final translation = item.senses.first.translation!;
    // prints translations (see prints below)
    print(translation.word);
    // prints definition (see prints below)
    print(translation.definition);

    // You can get more information of the words with the "view" API method:
    final detailedInfo = await dict.view(
    item.targetCode,
    transLang: {TranslationLanguage.english},
    );
    // e.g. See a sentence example
    final anExemple = detailedInfo.senses.first.examples.first.example;
    // prints first sentence example (see prints below)
    print(anExemple);
}
} catch (e) {
    debugPrint("$e");
}
