Useful for avoiding a request if you have the sheet locally. | | **skin** | | `1` | Skin color: `1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6` | | **tooltip** | | `false` | Show emoji short name when hovering (title) | | [**html**](#using-with-dangerouslysetinnerhtml) | | `false` | Returns an HTML string to use with `dangerouslySetInnerHTML` | #### Unsupported emojis fallback Certain sets don’t support all emojis (i.e. Messenger & Facebook don’t support `:shrug:`). By default the Emoji component will not render anything so that the emojis’ don’t take space in the picker when not available. When using the standalone Emoji component, you can however render anything you want by providing the `fallback` props. To have the component render `:shrug:` you would need to: ```js { return emoji ? `:${emoji.short_names[0]}:` : props.emoji }} /> ``` #### Using with `dangerouslySetInnerHTML` The Emoji component being a [functional component](https://medium.com/missive-app/45-faster-react-functional-components-now-3509a668e69f), you can call it as you would call any function instead of using JSX. Make sure you pass `html: true` for it to return an HTML string. ```js ``` #### Using with `contentEditable` Following the `dangerouslySetInnerHTML` example above, make sure the wrapping `span` sets `contenteditable="false"`. ```js
Looks good to me
``` ## Custom emojis You can provide custom emojis which will show up in their own category. You can either use a single image as imageUrl or use a spritesheet as shown in the second object. ```js import { Picker } from 'emoji-mart' const customEmojis = [ { name: 'Octocat', short_names: ['octocat'], text: '', emoticons: [], keywords: ['github'], imageUrl: 'https://assets-cdn.github.com/images/icons/emoji/octocat.png?v7' }, { name: 'Test Flag', short_names: ['test'], text: '', emoticons: [], keywords: ['test', 'flag'], spriteUrl: 'https://unpkg.com/emoji-datasource-twitter@4.0.4/img/twitter/sheets-256/64.png', sheet_x: 1, sheet_y: 1, size: 64, sheetColumns: 52, sheetRows: 52, }, ] ``` ## Not Found You can provide a custom Not Found object which will allow the appearance of the not found search results to change. In this case, we change the default 'sleuth_or_spy' emoji to Octocat when our search finds no results. ```js import { Picker } from 'emoji-mart' const notFound = () => ``` ## Custom icons You can provide custom icons which will override the default icons. ```js import { Picker } from 'emoji-mart' const customIcons = { categories: { recent: () => , foods: () => , people: () => } } ``` ## Headless search The `Picker` doesn’t have to be mounted for you to take advantage of the advanced search results. ```js import { emojiIndex } from 'emoji-mart' emojiIndex.search('christmas').map((o) => o.native) // => [🎄, 🎅🏼, 🔔, 🎁, ⛄️, ❄️] ``` ### With custom data ```js import data from 'emoji-mart/datasets/messenger' import { NimbleEmojiIndex } from 'emoji-mart' let emojiIndex = new NimbleEmojiIndex(data) emojiIndex.search('christmas') ``` ## Storage By default EmojiMart will store user chosen skin and frequently used emojis in `localStorage`. That can however be overwritten should you want to store these in your own storage. ```js import { store } from 'emoji-mart' store.setHandlers({ getter: (key) => { // Get from your own storage (sync) }, setter: (key, value) => { // Persist in your own storage (can be async) } }) ``` Possible keys are: | Key | Value | Description | | --- | ----- | ----------- | | skin | `1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6` | | | frequently | `{ 'astonished': 11, '+1': 22 }` | An object where the key is the emoji name and the value is the usage count | | last | 'astonished' | (Optional) Used by `frequently` to be sure the latest clicked emoji will always appear in the “Recent” category | ## Features ### Powerful search #### Short name, name and keywords Not only does **Emoji Mart** return more results than most emoji picker, they’re more accurate and sorted by relevance. summer #### Emoticons The only emoji picker that returns emojis when searching for emoticons. emoticons #### Results intersection For better results, **Emoji Mart** split search into words and only returns results matching both terms. high-five ### Fully customizable #### Anchors color, title and default emoji customizable-color
pick-your-emoji #### Emojis sizes and length size-and-length #### Default skin color As the developer, you have control over which skin color is used by default. skins It can however be overwritten as per user preference. customizable-skin #### Multiple sets supported Apple / Google / Twitter / EmojiOne / Messenger / Facebook sets ## Not opinionated **Emoji Mart** doesn’t automatically insert anything into a text input, nor does it show or hide itself. It simply returns an `emoji` object. It’s up to the developer to mount/unmount (it’s fast!) and position the picker. You can use the returned object as props for the `EmojiMart.Emoji` component. You could also use `emoji.colons` to insert text into a textarea or `emoji.native` to use the emoji. ## Optimizing for production ### Modern/ES builds **Emoji Mart** comes in three flavors: ``` dist dist-es dist-modern ``` - `dist` is the standard build with the highest level of compatibility. - `dist-es` is the same, but uses ES modules for better tree-shaking. - `dist-modern` removes features not needed in modern evergreen browsers (i.e. latest Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari). The default builds are `dist` and `dist-es`. (In Webpack, one or the other will be chosen based on your [resolve main fields](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/resolve/#resolve-mainfields).) If you want to use `dist-modern`, you must explicitly import it: ```js import { Picker } from 'emoji-mart/dist-modern/index.js' ``` Using something like Babel, you can transpile the modern build to suit your own needs. ### Removing prop-types To remove [prop-types](https://github.com/facebook/prop-types) in production, use [babel-plugin-transform-react-remove-prop-types](https://github.com/oliviertassinari/babel-plugin-transform-react-remove-prop-types): ```bash npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-transform-react-remove-prop-types ``` Then add to your `.babelrc`: ```json "plugins": [ [ "transform-react-remove-prop-types", { "removeImport": true, "additionalLibraries": [ "../../utils/shared-props" ] } ] ] ``` You'll also need to ensure that Babel is transpiling `emoji-mart`, e.g. [by not excluding `node_modules` in `babel-loader`](https://github.com/babel/babel-loader#usage). ## Development ```bash yarn build ``` In two separate tabs: ```bash yarn start yarn storybook ``` The storybook is hosted at `localhost:6006`, and the code will be built on-the-fly. ## 🎩 Hat tips!
