Total Emojis as a Service

Total Emojis as a Service (Teaas / TEAAS) is a lightweight library that wraps around RMagick and allows easy manipulation of emojis or emoji-like GIFs. Right now, it supports "Turbo"ing the emoji, making it spin, or making a marquee. This is a very early version, with more features and bug fixes to come in the future.

Version 1.0.0.bacon and higher changes APIs from any prior versions, so make sure to check the documentation.

Requirements

• Ruby 1.9.2 or higher
• rmagick ~> 2.15.4. rmagick requires ImageMagick to be installed where this is running. Some free hosts (Heroku a notable example) have this installed already, while others may not. Additionally, the Ruby you're using needs to be able to compile C extensions.

"Turbo"ing / Turboize

"Turbo"ing or Turboize involves changing the GIF animation delay to 1 second, and adjusting the ticks per second to make the emoji speed up or slow down.

Spin

Spinning an image just takes the image that is input and makes it spin clockwise or counterclockwise. Additionally, it can now spin animated GIFs, as long as the option is selected. Otherwise, will spin a single frame of the GIF.

NOTE: Spinning only works best on images that are square (32x32 for example). Images that are not square may return unexpected results.

NOTE: Spinning removes any transparency from the image.

Marquee

Making an image a marquee involves taking a static image, and making intermediate images so that when the emojis are next to each other, they look like they're flowing together (like a marquee). It's best to try it out and see the results.

NOTE: Marquee removes any transparency from the image.

NOTE: Marquee supports aniamted GIFs, however depending on the type of GIF, it may not work properly.

Blood

This overlays a blood animation over the image. Only works for static images, or a single frame of the GIF.

NOTE: Blood removes any transparency from the image.

Fire

This overlays a fire animation over the image. Only works for static images, or a single frame of the GIF.

NOTE: Fire removes any transparency from the image.

Documentation

Docs are in YARD format. To build the HTML docs, just gem install yard then run yard. If you'd rather not use YARD, you can just read the documentation for the methods in the source files.

Example

If you're looking for a full example, I built a hacky, yet functional, example Heroku app here.

If you're just interested in code snippets, check these out:

Turbo

From a file

image_path = "image.gif"

result = Teaas::Turbo.turbo_from_file(image_path, false)
// result contains an array of image blobs

From a Magick::ImageList

image = Magick::ImageList.new

//populate image here

result = Teaas::Turbo.turbo(image, false)
// result contains an array of image blobs

Spin

From a file

image_path = "image.gif"

spin_result = Teaas::Spin.spin_from_file(image_path)
final_result = Teaas::Turbo.turbo(spin_result, false)
// final_result contains an array of image blobs

From a Magick::ImageList

image = Magick::ImageList.new

//populate image here

spin_result = Teaas::Spin.spin(image)
final_result = Teaas::Turbo.turbo(spin_result, false)
// final_result contains an array of image blobs

Marquee

From a file

image_path = "image.gif"

marquee_result = Teaas::Marquee.marquee_from_file(image_path)
final_result = Teaas::Turbo.turbo(marquee_result, false)
// final_result contains an array of image blobs

From a Magick::ImageList

image = Magick::Image.read("file.png")

marquee_result = Teaas::Marquee.marquee(image)
final_result = Teaas::Turbo.turbo(marquee_result, false)
// final_result contains an array of image blobs

Bloodify

From a file

image_path = "image.gif"

bloodify_result = Teaas::Blood.blood_from_file(image_path)
final_result = Teaas::Turbo.turbo(blood_result, false)
// final_result contains an array of image blobs

From a Magick::ImageList

image = Magick::Image.read("file.png")

blood_result = Teaas::Blood.blood(image)
final_result = Teaas::Turbo.turbo(marquee_result, false)
// final_result contains an array of image blobs

Fireify

From a file

image_path = "image.gif"

fireify_result = Teaas::Fire.fire_from_file(image_path)
final_result = Teaas::Turbo.turbo(fire_result, false)
// final_result contains an array of image blobs

From a Magick::ImageList

image = Magick::Image.read("file.png")

fire_result = Teaas::Fire.fire(image)
final_result = Teaas::Turbo.turbo(marquee_result, false)
// final_result contains an array of image blobs
