A Laravel 5 Package for Using & Working With Emojis in your Laravel Apps
PHP 7 and Composer are required.
To get the latest version of Laravel Emoji, simply add the following line to the require block of your composer.json
file.
"unicodeveloper/laravel-emoji": "1.0.*"
You'll then need to run composer install
or composer update
to download it and have the autoloader updated.
Once Laravel Emoji is installed, you need to register the service provider. Open up config/app.php
and add the following to the providers
key.
Unicodeveloper\Emoji\EmojiServiceProvider::class
Also, register the Facade like so:
'aliases' => [
...
'Emoji' => Unicodeveloper\Emoji\Facades\Emoji::class,
...
]
Translate Emoji names to Unicode and Vice-versa.
>> Emoji::findByAlias("kissing_heart")
=> "๐"
>> Emoji::findByName("sunglasses")
=> "๐"
>> Emoji::findByUnicode("\u{1F603}")
=> "smiley"
This package contains some of the characters listed on http://unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-emoji-list.html
