emoji-mart
Advanced tools
emoji-mart is a comprehensive emoji picker component for React applications. It provides a user-friendly interface for selecting emojis, supports custom emojis, and offers various customization options.
Emoji Picker
The basic emoji picker component allows users to select emojis. The selected emoji is logged to the console in this example.
import { Picker } from 'emoji-mart';
import 'emoji-mart/css/emoji-mart.css';
function App() {
return (
<div>
<Picker onSelect={emoji => console.log(emoji)} />
</div>
);
}Custom Emoji Set
Allows the addition of custom emojis to the picker. In this example, a custom emoji is added and can be selected.
import { Picker } from 'emoji-mart';
import 'emoji-mart/css/emoji-mart.css';
const customEmojis = [
{
id: 'custom1',
name: 'Custom Emoji 1',
short_names: ['custom1'],
text: '',
emoticons: [],
keywords: ['custom', 'emoji'],
imageUrl: 'https://example.com/custom1.png'
}
];
function App() {
return (
<div>
<Picker set='custom' custom={customEmojis} onSelect={emoji => console.log(emoji)} />
</div>
);
}Emoji Search
Provides a search functionality within the emoji picker. Users can search for emojis by keywords.
import { Picker } from 'emoji-mart';
import 'emoji-mart/css/emoji-mart.css';
function App() {
return (
<div>
<Picker onSelect={emoji => console.log(emoji)} showPreview={false} showSkinTones={false} />
</div>
);
}Customizable Skin Tones
Allows users to select different skin tones for emojis. This example shows the skin tone selector in the picker.
import { Picker } from 'emoji-mart';
import 'emoji-mart/css/emoji-mart.css';
function App() {
return (
<div>
<Picker onSelect={emoji => console.log(emoji)} showSkinTones={true} />
</div>
);
}emoji-picker-react is another React component for selecting emojis. It offers a simple and lightweight emoji picker with support for custom emojis and various customization options. Compared to emoji-mart, it is more lightweight but may lack some advanced features.
react-emoji-picker is a straightforward emoji picker for React applications. It provides basic emoji selection functionality and is easy to integrate. It is less feature-rich compared to emoji-mart but serves well for simple use cases.
react-emoji is a library for rendering emojis in React applications. It focuses on converting text to emojis rather than providing a picker interface. It complements emoji-mart by offering a different set of functionalities.
Data required for the picker to work has been completely decoupled from the library. That gives developers the flexibility to better control their app bundle size and let them choose how and when this data is loaded. Data can be:
yarn add @emoji-mart/data
import data from '@emoji-mart/data'
import { Picker } from 'emoji-mart'
new Picker({ data })
import { Picker } from 'emoji-mart'
new Picker({
data: async () => {
const response = await fetch(
'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@emoji-mart/data',
)
return response.json()
}
})
In this example data is fetched from a content delivery network, but it could also be fetched from your own domain if you want to host the data.
npm install --save emoji-mart @emoji-mart/data @emoji-mart/react
import data from '@emoji-mart/data'
import Picker from '@emoji-mart/react'
function App() {
return (
<Picker data={data} onEmojiSelect={console.log} />
)
}
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/emoji-mart@latest/dist/browser.js"></script>
<script>
const pickerOptions = { onEmojiSelect: console.log }
const picker = new EmojiMart.Picker(pickerOptions)
document.body.appendChild(picker)
</script>

You can use custom emojis by providing an array of categories and their emojis. Emojis also support multiple skin tones and can be GIFs or SVGs.
import data from '@emoji-mart/data'
import Picker from '@emoji-mart/react'
const custom = [
{
id: 'github',
name: 'GitHub',
emojis: [
{
id: 'octocat',
name: 'Octocat',
keywords: ['github'],
skins: [{ src: './octocat.png' }],
},
{
id: 'shipit',
name: 'Squirrel',
keywords: ['github'],
skins: [
{ src: './shipit-1.png' }, { src: './shipit-2.png' }, { src: './shipit-3.png' },
{ src: './shipit-4.png' }, { src: './shipit-5.png' }, { src: './shipit-6.png' },
],
},
],
},
{
id: 'gifs',
name: 'GIFs',
emojis: [
{
id: 'party_parrot',
name: 'Party Parrot',
keywords: ['dance', 'dancing'],
skins: [{ src: './party_parrot.gif' }],
},
],
},
]
function App() {
return (
<Picker data={data} custom={custom} />
)
}
You can use custom category icons by providing an object with the category name as key and the icon as value. Currently supported formats are svg string and src. See example.
const customCategoryIcons = {
categoryIcons: {
activity: {
svg: '<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 640 512"><path d="M57.89 397.2c-6.262-8.616-16.02-13.19-25.92-13.19c-23.33 0-31.98 20.68-31.98 32.03c0 6.522 1.987 13.1 6.115 18.78l46.52 64C58.89 507.4 68.64 512 78.55 512c23.29 0 31.97-20.66 31.97-32.03c0-6.522-1.988-13.1-6.115-18.78L57.89 397.2zM496.1 352c-44.13 0-79.72 35.75-79.72 80s35.59 80 79.72 80s79.91-35.75 79.91-80S540.2 352 496.1 352zM640 99.38c0-13.61-4.133-27.34-12.72-39.2l-23.63-32.5c-13.44-18.5-33.77-27.68-54.12-27.68c-13.89 0-27.79 4.281-39.51 12.8L307.8 159.7C262.2 192.8 220.4 230.9 183.4 273.4c-24.22 27.88-59.18 63.99-103.5 99.63l56.34 77.52c53.79-35.39 99.15-55.3 127.1-67.27c51.88-22 101.3-49.87 146.9-82.1l202.3-146.7C630.5 140.4 640 120 640 99.38z"/></svg>',

The emoji web component usage is the same no matter what library you use.
First, you need to make sure data has been initialized. You need to call this only once per page load. Note that if you call init like this, you don’t necessarily need to include data in your Picker props. It doesn’t hurt either, it will noop.
import data from '@emoji-mart/data'
import { init } from 'emoji-mart'
init({ data })
Then you can use the emoji component in your HTML / JSX.
<em-emoji id="+1" size="2em"></em-emoji>
<em-emoji id="+1" skin="2"></em-emoji>
<em-emoji shortcodes=":+1::skin-tone-1:"></em-emoji>
<em-emoji shortcodes=":+1::skin-tone-2:"></em-emoji>
| Attribute | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
| id | +1 | An emoji ID |
| shortcodes | :+1::skin-tone-2: | An emoji shortcode |
| native | 👍 | A native emoji |
| size | 2em | The inline element size |
| fallback | :shrug: | A string to be rendered in case the emoji can’t be found |
| set | native | The emoji set: native, apple, facebook, google, twitter |
| skin | 1 | The emoji skin tone: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 |
You can search without the Picker. Just like the emoji component, data needs to be initialized first in order to use the search index.
import data from '@emoji-mart/data'
import { init, SearchIndex } from 'emoji-mart'
init({ data })
async function search(value) {
const emojis = await SearchIndex.search(value)
const results = emojis.map((emoji) => {
return emoji.skins[0].native
})
console.log(results)
}
search('christmas') // => ['🎄', '🇨🇽', '🧑🎄', '🔔', '🤶', '🎁', '☃️', '❄️', '🎅', '⛄']
You can get emoji data from a native emoji. This is useful if you want to get the emoji ID from a native emoji. Just like the emoji component, data needs to be initialized first in order to retrieve the emoji data.
import data from '@emoji-mart/data'
import { init, getEmojiDataFromNative } from 'emoji-mart'
init({ data })
getEmojiDataFromNative('🤞🏿').then(console.log)
/* {
aliases: ['hand_with_index_and_middle_fingers_crossed'],
id: 'crossed_fingers',
keywords: ['hand', 'with', 'index', 'and', 'middle', 'good', 'lucky'],
name: 'Crossed Fingers',
native: '🤞🏿',
shortcodes: ':crossed_fingers::skin-tone-6:',
skin: 6,
unified: '1f91e-1f3ff',
} */
EmojiMart UI supports multiple languages, feel free to open a PR if yours is missing.
import i18n from '@emoji-mart/data/i18n/fr.json'
i18n.search_no_results_1 = 'Aucun emoji'
new Picker({ i18n })
Given the small file size, English is built-in and doesn’t need to be provided.
EmojiMart relies on these APIs, you may need to include polyfills if you need to support older browsers:
yarn install
yarn dev
