Emoji

This repo is a collection of emojis from various slack teams. Emoji images can be found in the emojis directory. Browsing in GitHub is difficult, so the docs dir has a series of pages with emoji tables on them.

pipenv install

Usage

This repo was originally based on the download script from gist:lmarkus/lmarkus to download emoji but has migrated to a python script I wrote located in the scripts/ dir.

Getting emoji json lists

The current way that has been working is to go to the webapp of the slack team in your browser, opening a network inspector for the page and pulling your token from one of the requests there, and using the api test page to download the emoji.list json directly.

Getting the slackbot response json lists.

I've never been able to get curl to handle this well, so what has worked is navigating to the slackbot response list for the slack team in a browser, opening the network inspector for the page and getting the raw response json directly from the browser's call to the slackbot.responses.list endpoint.

Make Commands

• get
  • run JSON_PATH=/path/to/emoji.list.json NAMESPACE=<subdir in emojis/> make get
  • This will filter out all the emoji/aliases that are already in your downloads.db and download the rest to the directory emojis/${NAMESPACE}/ and add the downloaded data to the downloads.db for future filtering.
• gen
  • run NAMESPACE=<subdir in emojis/> make gen
  • This will generate an index and browse pages of markdown for all emoji in the emojis/$NAMESPACE/ dir.
• slackbot
  • run JSON_PATH=/path/to/slackbot.responses.list.json MATCH=<substring for matching> make slackbot
  • This will generate a list of triggers for slackbot responses that include your match substring.

Building new emoji

Many people have been keen on building new emoji, and have made templates and scripts to help aid in making new emoji permutations, to see those, please see assets/templates/ and scripts.
