ngx-joypixels

!Build   

JoyPixels for Angular.

Usage

To use this library, install both JoyPixels' emoji-toolkit and this library, ngx-joypixels, from npm.

``shell


With yarn

Import the EmojiModule into your app.module.ts and add it to your imports array:

`ts
//...
import { NgxJoypixelsModule } from 'ngx-joypixels';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

@NgModule({
declarations: [AppComponent],
imports: [
//...
NgxJoypixelsModule
]
})
export class AppModule {}
`

You're now ready to go! Check out the documentation below for using the various pieces of this library. You can also look at this StackBlitz for actual example usage of some of the features.

Component

You can use the component for a single shortcode-to-emoji rendering. Simply use the markup below:

`html

`

Where myVar is bound to a string with a single shortcode, such as :poop:. That component will then render the emoji.

Pipe

Using the pipe is simple. Below is a sample component that makes use of the EmojiPipe.

`ts
import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
template:

constructor() {
this.text = This will be converted to JoyPixels emojis! :thumbsup: ❤️;
}
}
`

The pipe will then convert the text and the output will correctly have the JoyPixels emoji in place of the shortcode and unicode emoji.

As JoyPixels simply replaces shortcodes and native unicode emoji, you will need to bind your output to the innerHTML attribute, as is shown in the example above.

Service

If you'd rather do conversions yourself, this library provides an easy to use service with various methods for managing your emoji! Simply import EmojiService where you wish to use it, like the example below:

`ts
import { Component } from '@angular/core';

import { EmojiService } from 'ngx-joypixels';

@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
template:

This function takes a shortname, such as :thumbsup:, and returns an tag with the corresponding JoyPixels emoji.

$3

This function takes a native unicode emoji, like ❤️, and returns a the corresponding shortname, in this case, :heart:.

$3

This function takes a native unicode emoji, like ❤️, and returns an tag with the corresponding JoyPixels emoji.

$3

This function takes a string and replaces all instances of native unicode emoji and shortnames with ` tags with their corresponding JoyPixels emoji. This is what we use internally for the EmojiPipe.
