EmojiPicker Save

React Twemoji Picker is an emoji component
made for fast show-and-scroll and filtering
demo

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.

Original svg sources for emoji spritesheet comes from Twitter's twemoji library. 😊

Installation

npm install --save github:brianhung/emojipicker

Usage

import { EmojiPicker } from 'react-twemoji-picker';
import EmojiData from "react-twemoji-picker/data/twemoji.json";
import "react-twemoji-picker/dist/EmojiPicker.css"

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>

To see an example, look at the source code for the demo.
