Auto hide not working as expected

[ezzabuzaid]

Hi,

I'm trying to keep the picker shown and to be closed manually
the current autoHide property seems not to work either the showPreview

moreover, it would be nice if there's an option to remove the categories bar at all

[joeattardi]

Can you please elaborate on what the issue is? When you say autoHide isn’t working, what is the problem you’re having?

[ezzabuzaid]

@joeattardi thank you for that quick response!
I'm trying to have the picker persisted even if the user selects an emoji

[joeattardi]

Can you post a code snippet? Setting the autoHide option to false should have the behavior you're describing.

[ezzabuzaid]

I've already posted in the first comment

[joeattardi]

So are you saying when you use autoHide: false the picker still hides after selecting an emoji?

[ezzabuzaid]

Here's a demonstration.

I'm sorry, I'm still not able to reproduce this behavior based on the code snippet in your screenshot. Can you share the full source of your usage of the emoji picker?

[joeattardi]

Hi, just checking in again. Can you provide a full code example that exhibits the behavior you described, so I can try to debug it? Thank you. If I don’t hear from you soon I will probably close this for inactivity. Thanks.

Question: Are you passing these options to the EmojiButton constructor, or to the togglePicker or showPicker functions? These options only work when passed to the EmojiButton constructor.

I'm sorry, I just saw the notifications

No, I'm passing them as an argument to showPicker method.
I've changed this and now I'm passing them toEmojiButton constructor and working perfectly!

so what is the usage of the showPicker option parameter?

[joeattardi]

The showPicker option parameter can be used to specify a custom position. I should update the docs to be more clear. Sorry for the mix-up!
