# emoji list

This repository contains a list of all emoji metadata scraped from [this website *(WARNING: downloads 27 MB)*](https://unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-emoji-list.html). I made this because I could not find any readily available list with both names AND unicode codepoints. You can use this list together with your favorite emoji set:

- [emoji.json](emoji.json) (with formatting)

- [emoji.min.json](emoji.min.json) (without formatting)

The list is a JSON array of objects, each with a `category`, `subcategory`, `name`, and array of `codes`. Here are the first two emojis from [emoji.json](emoji.json) as an example:

```json

[

  {

    "category": "Smileys & Emotion",

    "subcategory": "face-smiling",

    "name": "grinning face",

    "codes": [

      "1F600"

    ]

  },

  {

    "category": "Smileys & Emotion",

    "subcategory": "face-smiling",

    "name": "grinning face with big eyes",

    "codes": [

      "1F603"

    ]

  }

]

```

## npm

You can get the list from npm:

    npm install @eibens/emoji-list

The emoji list object is the default export of the package:

```JavaScript

import emojiList from '@eibens/emoji-list'

emojiList.forEach(emoji => console.log(emoji.name))

```

## Do it yourself

You can export the list yourself, if you wish. The steps were tested and work in newest Firefox and Google Chrome:

1. Copy the source code below.

2. Go to [this website *(WARNING: downloads 27 MB)*](https://unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-emoji-list.html)

3. Open the browser console (F12 or right click and `Inspect Element`).

4. Paste the source code into the console and press Enter.

5. Wait a few seconds until the console outputs `emojis gathered!`.

6. The emoji list is now in your clipboard and you can paste it anywhere.

```JavaScript

format = false // change to `true` if you want formatted output

copy((format => {

  function Xs (node, path) {

    const result = node.ownerDocument

      .evaluate(path, node, null, XPathResult.ORDERED_NODE_ITERATOR_TYPE, null)

    const nodes = []

    let n

    while (n = result.iterateNext()) nodes.push(n)

    return nodes

  }

  function XText (node, path) {

    return Xs(node, path)[0].textContent

  }

  const list = Xs(document.body, '//tr[td]').map(tr => ({ 

    category: XText(tr, '(preceding::tr/th[@class="bighead"])[last()]'),

    subcategory: XText(tr, '(preceding::tr/th[@class="mediumhead"])[last()]'),

    // must replace '⊛' in name of recently added emojis 

    name: XText(tr, 'td[last()]').replace(/⊛/, '').trim(),

    // multiple codes in single anchor tag

    codes: XText(tr, 'td[2]/a').split(' ').map(code => code.substr(2))

  }))

  return JSON.stringify(list, null, format ? 2 : null)

})(format))

console.log('emojis gathered!')

```
