๐ A light-weight Emoji ๐ฆ for Flutter and Dart-based applications with all up-to-date emojis ๐. Made from ๐ฏ% โ with โค๏ธ!
Inspired from the node-emoji package.
Update: since v2.3.4+, support all emojis listed in Unicode 13.0.
NOTE: I initially created this package to support my Flutter apps. However, Dart is growing to support on more platforms, so starting from v2.4.0+, this package will be available to all types of Dart-based applications.
I'm working on the new version of the package, it might or might not introduce breaking changes but I will try to maintain the compatibility in the API.
Here are few upcoming update to the v3:
- Support Unicode 15.1+ emojis.
- Skin tone
- Group (category) of the emojis
- Emoji version
- Few new methods for handling/manipulating emojis.
Add this into pubspec.yaml
dependencies:
flutter_emoji: ">= 2.0.0"
First, import the package:
import 'package:flutter_emoji/flutter_emoji.dart';
There are two main classes you need to know to handle Emoji text: Emoji and EmojiParser.
Basically, you need to initialize an instance of EmojiParser and call its methods.
var parser = EmojiParser();
var coffee = Emoji('coffee', 'โ');
var heart = Emoji('heart', 'โค๏ธ');
// Get emoji info
var emojiHeart = parser.info('heart');
print(emojiHeart); '{name: heart, full: :heart:, code: โค๏ธ}'
// Check emoji equality
heart == emojiHeart; // returns: true
heart == emojiCoffee; // returns: false
// Get emoji by name or code
parser.get('coffee'); // returns: Emoji{name="coffee", full=":coffee:", code="โ"}
parser.get(':coffee:'); // returns: Emoji{name="coffee", full=":coffee:", code="โ"}
parser.hasName('coffee'); // returns: true
parser.getName('coffee'); // returns: Emoji{name="coffee", full=":coffee:", code="โ"}
parser.hasEmoji('โค๏ธ'); // returns: true
parser.getEmoji('โค๏ธ'); // returns: Emoji{name="heart", full=":heart:", code="โค๏ธ"}
parser.emojify('I :heart: :coffee:'); // returns: 'I โค๏ธ โ'
parser.unemojify('I โค๏ธ โ'); // returns: 'I :heart: :coffee:'
// Count number of present emojis
parser.count('I โค๏ธ Flutter just like โ'); // returns: 2
// Count frequency of a specific emoji
parser.frequency('I โค๏ธ Flutter just like โ', 'โค๏ธ'); // returns: 1
// Replace a specific emoji by another emoji
parser.replace('I โค๏ธ coffee', 'โค๏ธ', 'โค๏ธโ๐ฅ'); // returns: 'I โค๏ธโ๐ฅ coffee'
// Get a list of all emojis from the input
parser.parseEmojis('I โค๏ธ Flutter just like โ'); // returns: ['โค๏ธ', 'โ']All methods will return Emoji.None if emoji is not found, except these two emojify() and unemojify() that will return original input.
parser.get('does_not_exist_emoji_name'); // returns: Emoji.None
There are two available datasets available you can choose to initialize for EmojiParser: local and server.
// to load local dataset
var localParser1 = EmojiParser();
var localParser2 = EmojiParser(init: false);
localParser2.initLocalData();
// to load server dataset
// this will trigger an URL request to download latest emoji data
var serverParser = EmojiParser(init: false);
await serverParser.initServerData(); // make sure to wrap in an `async` function/method.NOTE: make sure to add Internet permission on Android.
<!-- Required to fetch data from the internet. -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />In any occasion that local dataset doesn't have the latest emojis, load server dataset instead. If it is still not working, please create an issue or pull request to the repo.
