Example Usage

":heart_eyes: :heart: :beer:".emojiUnescapedString
"🐶🐱🐷".emojiEscapedString

Methods

extension String {
    var emojiEscapedString: String
    var emojiUnescapedString: String
    static var emojis : [Emoji]

public struct Emoji {
    public init(shortname: String, codepoints: [String])
}

Custom Emoji

You can add own custom emoji to String.emojis.

If you use custom emojis, you should use only alpha-numeric characters for shortname of emojis to avoid any converting problem since this library internally uses RegExp to convert emojis.

// Add Custom Emoji
String.emojis.append(Emoji(shortname: "amp", codepoints: ["&\u{20dd}"]))

// Using Custom Emoji
":amp:".emojiUnescapedString
"&⃝".emojiEscapedString
