Emoji Detection
===============
This library will find all emoji in an input string and return information about each emoji character. It supports emoji with skin tone modifiers, as well as the composite emoji that are made up of multiple people.
The current version supports Emoji version 15.1 (Sept 2023)
You can see a catalog of the emoji data here:
* https://unicode.org/Public/emoji/15.1/emoji-test.txt
* http://projects.iamcal.com/emoji-data/table.htm
Installation
------------
```
composer require p3k/emoji-detector
```
Or include `src/Emoji.php` in your project, and make sure the `map.json` and `regexp.json` files are available in the same folder as `Emoji.php`. You don't need any of the other files for use in your own projects.
Usage
-----
### Detect Emoji
```php
$input = "Hello ๐๐ผ World ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐ฆโ๐ฆ";
$emoji = Emoji\detect_emoji($input);
print_r($emoji);
```
The function returns an array with details about each emoji found in the string.
```
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[emoji] => ๐๐ผ
[short_name] => +1
[num_points] => 2
[points_hex] => Array
(
[0] => 1F44D
[1] => 1F3FC
)
[hex_str] => 1F44D-1F3FC
[skin_tone] => skin-tone-3
[byte_offset] => 6
[grapheme_offset] => 6
)
[1] => Array
(
[emoji] => ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐ฆโ๐ฆ
[short_name] => man-woman-boy-boy
[num_points] => 7
[points_hex] => Array
(
[0] => 1F468
[1] => 200D
[2] => 1F469
[3] => 200D
[4] => 1F466
[5] => 200D
[6] => 1F466
)
[hex_str] => 1F468-200D-1F469-200D-1F466-200D-1F466
[skin_tone] =>
[byte_offset] => 21
[grapheme_offset] => 14
)
)
```
* `emoji` - The emoji sequence found, as the original byte sequence. You can output this to show the original emoji.
* `short_name` - The short name of the emoji, as defined by [Slack's emoji data](https://github.com/iamcal/emoji-data).
* `num_points` - The number of unicode code points that this emoji is composed of.
* `points_hex` - An array of each unicode code point that makes up this emoji. These are returned as hex strings. This will also include "invisible" characters such as the ZWJ character and skin tone modifiers.
* `hex_str` - A list of all unicode code points in their hex form separated by hyphens. This string is present in the [Slack emoji data](https://github.com/iamcal/emoji-data) array.
* `skin_tone` - If a skin tone modifier was used in the emoji, this field indicates which skin tone, since the `short_name` will not include the skin tone.
* `byte_offset` - The position of the emoji in the string in bytes, used with the plain `str*` functions
* `grapheme_offset` - The position of the emoji in the string, counting each emoji as 1 char, used with the `grapheme_*` functions
You can use the `grapheme_*` functions to extract parts of the string using the `grapheme_offset` position returned. For example:
```php
$string = "Treลกnja ๐";
$emoji = Emoji\detect_emoji($string);
echo '.'.grapheme_substr($string, 0, $emoji[0]['grapheme_offset']).".\n";
echo '.'.substr($string, 0, $emoji[0]['byte_offset']).".\n";
// Both output ".Treลกnja ."
```
#### Replace emoji with string representations
```php
$string = Emoji\replace_emoji('I like ๐ฎ and ๐ฏ', ':', ':');
echo $string;
// I like :taco: and :burrito:
```
### Test if a string is a single emoji
Since simply counting the number of unicode characters in a string does not tell you how many visible emoji are in the string, determining whether a single character is an emoji is more involved. This function will return the emoji data only if the string contains a single emoji character, and false otherwise.
```php
$emoji = Emoji\is_single_emoji('๐จโ๐ฉโ๐ฆโ๐ฆ');
print_r($emoji);
```
```
Array
(
[emoji] => ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐ฆโ๐ฆ
[short_name] => man-woman-boy-boy
[num_points] => 7
[points_hex] => Array
(
[0] => 1F468
[1] => 200D
[2] => 1F469
[3] => 200D
[4] => 1F466
[5] => 200D
[6] => 1F466
)
[hex_str] => 1F468-200D-1F469-200D-1F466-200D-1F466
[skin_tone] =>
[byte_offset] => 0
[grapheme_offset] => 0
)
```
```php
$emoji = Emoji\is_single_emoji('๐ป๐');
// false
```
### Remove emoji from a string
You can remove all emoji from a string with this function, optionally removing trailing spaces.
```php
$string = "I like ๐ฎ and ๐ฏ";
echo Emoji\remove_emoji($string);
// "I like and "
echo Emoji\remove_emoji($string, ['collapse' => true]);
// "I like and";
```
Updates
-------
When a new emoji set is released, this library will need to be updated with the new unicode points and names. The source of the emoji data is [iamcal/emoji-data](https://github.com/iamcal/emoji-data), so first check there for the latest updates. You can build the new source files this library uses with the following command:
```
composer build
```
Tests
-----
A comprehensive set of tests is available to ensure things are working as expected, including tests for the new emoji added in new emoji versions. You can run the tests with the following command:
```
composer test
```
