Emoji Picker
a virtualized twemoji picker written in react and typescript.
React Twemoji Picker is an emoji component made for fast show-and-scroll and filtering.
To do this, we virtualize emoji elements with react-window and react-window-infinite-loader, meaning elements are not rendered into the DOM until they are visible through the scroll viewport. This allows react-twemoji-picker to be used with input or contenteditable components which require fast responsivity.
Installation
npm install --save github:brianhung/emojipicker
Usage
import { EmojiPicker } from 'react-twemoji-picker';
import EmojiData from "react-twemoji-picker/data/twemoji.json";
const emojiData = Object.freeze(EmojiData)
const handleEmojiSelect = (emoji: EmojiObject) => console.log(emoji)
<EmojiPicker emojiData={emojiData} handleEmojiSelect={handleEmojiSelect}/>
If you want to programatically get or set internal state (e.g. search), you have to use EmojiPickertRef
since EmojiPicker is a functional component. As an example,
import { EmojiPicker, EmojiPickerRef } from 'react-twemoji-picker';
const ref = React.createRef<EmojiPickerRef>()
const handleSearch = (query: string) => ref.current.search(query);
<EmojiPicker emojiData={emojiData} handleEmojiSelect={handleEmojiSelect} ref={ref}/>
<input onChange={event => handleSearch(event.target.value)} placeholder="search"></input>
