Getting Started

1. Install via bower bower install angular-emoji-map --save
2. Include angular-emoji-map.js in your HTML file after including Angular itself.
3. Add mm.emoji.utils to your main module's list.

Example Usage:

In your index.html:

<script src="bower_components/angular/angular.js"></script>
<script src="bower_components/angular-emoji-map/angular-emoji-map.js"></script>

In your app.js:

angular.module('myApp', [
  // ...
  'mm.emoji.utils'
]);

Getting an associative array of short codes

module.controller('MyCtrl', ['emojiMap', function(emojiMap) {
  var heart = emojiMap[':heart:']; // heart is now \u2764
}]);

Converting short codes into an emoji with angular-twemoji

<p data-ng-bind-html="message | emojiToUnicode | twemojoi"></p>

Converting short codes within a controller

module.controller('MyCtrl', ['emojiToUnicodeFilter', function(emojiToUnicodeFilter) {
  $scope.submit = function() {
    // subsititude emoji "short codes" with it's unicode string.
    $scope.text = emojiToUnicodeFilter($scope.text);
    // use twemoji to convert the message to html.
    var html = $window.twemoji.parse($scope.text);
}]);
