<ngx-emoji [emoji]="{ id: 'santa', skin: 3 }" size="16"></ngx-emoji>

Unsupported emojis fallback

Certain sets don’t support all emojis (i.e. Messenger & Facebook don’t support :shrug:). By default the Emoji component will not render anything so that the emojis’ don’t take space in the picker when not available. When using the standalone Emoji component, you can however render anything you want by providing the fallback props.

To have the component render :shrug: you would need to:

emojiFallback = (emoji: any, props: any) => emoji ? `:${emoji.shortNames[0]}:` : props.emoji

<ngx-emoji
  set="messenger"
  emoji="shrug"
  size="24"
  [fallback]="emojiFallback"
></ngx-emoji>

Custom emojis

You can provide custom emojis which will show up in their own category.

const customEmojis = [
  {
    name: 'Octocat',
    short_names: ['octocat'],
    text: '',
    emoticons: [],
    keywords: ['github'],
    imageUrl: 'https://assets-cdn.github.com/images/icons/emoji/octocat.png?v7'
  },
]

<ngx-emoji [custom]="customEmojis"></ngx-emoji>

Headless search

The Picker doesn’t have to be mounted for you to take advantage of the advanced search results.

import { EmojiSearch } from '@ctrl/ngx-emoji-mart';
class ex {
  constructor(private emojiSearch: EmojiSearch) {
    this.emojiSearch.search('christmas').map(o => o.native);
    // => [🎄, 🎅🏼, 🔔, 🎁, ⛄️, ❄️]
  }
}

Display emoji as custom element

// $event is from (emojiClick)
const styles = this.emoji.emojiSpriteStyles($event.emoji.sheet, 'twitter'); // pass emoji sheet
const el = document.createElement('div');
Object.assign(el.style, styles); // apply styles to new element
document.body.appendChild(el);

Storage

By default EmojiMart will store user chosen skin and frequently used emojis in localStorage.

Possible keys are:

Key	Value	Description
skin	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
frequently	{ 'astonished': 11, '+1': 22 }	An object where the key is the emoji name and the value is the usage count
last	'astonished'	(Optional) Used by frequently to be sure the latest clicked emoji will always appear in the “Recent” category

Features

Powerful search

Short name, name and keywords

Not only does Emoji Mart return more results than most emoji picker, they’re more accurate and sorted by relevance.

Emoticons

The only emoji picker that returns emojis when searching for emoticons.

Fully customizable

Anchors color, title and default emoji

Emojis sizes and length

Default skin color

As the developer, you have control over which skin color is used by default.

It can however be overwritten as per user preference.

Multiple sets supported

Apple / Google / Twitter / EmojiOne / Messenger / Facebook
