ngx-emoji-mart-picker

This is an unmaintained fork with a few changes to the displayed emoji names of:

GitHub: TypeCtrl/ngx-emoji-mart

NPM: @ctrl/ngx-emoji-mart

The reason for this fork is to be able to use emoticons and short names of emojis within a content editable text area. So it is possible to write e.g. ':)' and replace it with the proper emoji (the unicode 🙂 or any other of emoji-mart's sets) or '*hear-eyes*' and replace it with 😍 or any set of emojis.

This was also possible in the original, but the pre- and postfix of the displayed emojis in the preview was a colon which was interfering with emoticons e.g.

':o' and '🐙'

or

':o' and ':o)'.

The new indicator for emojis is an asterisk e.g. '*octopus*'.

The skin tone indicator remains a colon.

Changes:

Emoji

In order to display an emoji as a button use one of the following syntaxes:

<ngx-emoji [emoji]="{ id: 'santa', skin: 3 }" size="16"></ngx-emoji>
<ngx-emoji emoji="*santa*:skin-tone-3:" size="16"></ngx-emoji>
<ngx-emoji emoji="*santa*" set="emojione" size="16"></ngx-emoji>
<ngx-emoji emoji="santa" set="emojione" size="16"></ngx-emoji>
