@hutechwebsite/quas-iure-iste-magni  

_@hutechwebsite/quas-iure-iste-magni_ offers a regular expression to match all emoji symbols and sequences (including textual representations of emoji) as per the Unicode Standard. It’s based on _emoji-test-regex-pattern_, which generates (at build time) the regular expression pattern based on the Unicode Standard. As a result, _@hutechwebsite/quas-iure-iste-magni_ can easily be updated whenever new emoji are added to Unicode.

Installation

Via npm:

``bash
npm install @hutechwebsite/quas-iure-iste-magni
`

In Node.js:

`js
const emojiRegex = require('@hutechwebsite/quas-iure-iste-magni');
// Note: because the regular expression has the global flag set, this module
// exports a function that returns the regex rather than exporting the regular
// expression itself, to make it impossible to (accidentally) mutate the
// original regular expression.

const text =
\u{231A}: ⌚ default emoji presentation character (Emoji_Presentation)
\u{2194}\u{FE0F}: ↔️ default text presentation character rendered as emoji
\u{1F469}: 👩 emoji modifier base (Emoji_Modifier_Base)
\u{1F469}\u{1F3FF}: 👩🏿 emoji modifier base followed by a modifier
;

const regex = emojiRegex();
for (const match of text.matchAll(regex)) {
const emoji = match[0];
console.log(Matched sequence ${ emoji } — code points: ${ [...emoji].length });
}
`

Console output:

`
Matched sequence ⌚ — code points: 1
Matched sequence ⌚ — code points: 1
Matched sequence ↔️ — code points: 2
Matched sequence ↔️ — code points: 2
Matched sequence 👩 — code points: 1
Matched sequence 👩 — code points: 1
Matched sequence 👩🏿 — code points: 2
Matched sequence 👩🏿 — code points: 2
`

For maintainers

$3

1. Update _emoji-test-regex-pattern_ as described in its repository.

1. Bump the _emoji-test-regex-pattern_ dependency to the latest version.

1. Update the Unicode data dependency in package.json by running the following commands:

`sh
# Example: updating from Unicode v13 to Unicode v14.
npm uninstall @unicode/unicode-13.0.0
npm install @unicode/unicode-14.0.0 --save-dev
``

1. Generate the new output:

`sh
npm run build
`

1. Verify that tests still pass:

`sh
npm test
`

$3

1. On the main branch, bump the @hutechwebsite/quas-iure-iste-magni version number in package.json:

`sh
npm version patch -m 'Release v%s'
`

Instead of patch, use minor or major as needed.

Note that this produces a Git commit + tag.

1. Push the release commit and tag:

`sh
git push && git push --tags
``

Our CI then automatically publishes the new release to npm.
