emoji-toolkit

What is emoji-toolkit?

The emoji-toolkit npm package is a comprehensive library for working with emojis. It provides various functionalities such as converting emoji shortcodes to images, handling different emoji styles, and supporting multiple platforms. This toolkit is useful for developers who want to integrate emojis into their applications seamlessly.

What are emoji-toolkit's main functionalities?

Convert Emoji Shortcodes to Images

This feature allows you to convert emoji shortcodes (e.g., :pizza:) into their corresponding emoji images. This is useful for rendering emojis in environments that do not support native emoji rendering.

const emojiToolkit = require('emoji-toolkit');
const textWithEmojis = emojiToolkit.toImage('I love :pizza: and :coffee:!');
console.log(textWithEmojis);

Set Emoji Styles

This feature allows you to customize the style of the emojis, such as using sprite sheets and setting the size of the emojis. This is useful for maintaining a consistent look and feel across different platforms.

const emojiToolkit = require('emoji-toolkit');
emojiToolkit.sprites = true;
emojiToolkit.spriteSize = 32;
const styledEmoji = emojiToolkit.toImage('I love :pizza: and :coffee:!');
console.log(styledEmoji);

Support for Multiple Platforms

This feature allows you to switch between different emoji styles provided by various platforms like Apple, Google, Twitter, etc. This is useful for ensuring that emojis look consistent with the platform's native style.

const emojiToolkit = require('emoji-toolkit');
emojiToolkit.img_set = 'apple';
const appleStyledEmoji = emojiToolkit.toImage('I love :pizza: and :coffee:!');
console.log(appleStyledEmoji);
emojiToolkit.img_set = 'google';
const googleStyledEmoji = emojiToolkit.toImage('I love :pizza: and :coffee:!');
console.log(googleStyledEmoji);
