# PicMo

Add a fully featured emoji picker to your app with a few lines of code!

Formerly known as [Emoji Button](https://emoji-button.js.org).



## Features at a glance

- It's just JavaScript, no frameworks or libraries required. This means you can use it in any app under any framework.

- Emoji data is loaded once from a CDN and cached in the browser for subsequent sessions. 

- Use the default operating system emoji images or use an alternative renderer to use, for example, images from [Twemoji](https://twemoji.twitter.com).

- Emojis are searchable by name or tags

- Full support for skin tone variations where applicable

- Remembers recently used emojis

- Fully keyboard accessible

- Includes light and dark themes, with the ability to extend them to create your own

- Add custom images and GIFs!

- Render inline on the page or as a popup

## Demos and documentation

Demos and full documentation, including the API and usage guide, is available at [https://picmojs.com](https://picmojs.com).

## Installation

At a minimum, you need the core picker package. This gives you a picker that you can insert inline into an element on the page.

```

npm install picmo

```

## Basic usage

```javascript

import { createPicker } from 'picmo';

// The picker must have a root element to insert itself into

const rootElement = document.querySelector('#pickerContainer');

// Create the picker

const picker = createPicker({ rootElement });

// The picker emits an event when an emoji is selected. Do with it as you will!

picker.addEventListener('emoji:select', event => {

  console.log('Emoji selected:', event.emoji);

});

```

## Packages

PicMo is made up of three packages:

- [picmo](./packages/picmo): The core package that you use to create the picker.

- [@picmo/popup-picker](./packages/popup-picker): Adds the ability to create a popup picker.

- [@picmo/renderer-twemoji](./packages/renderer-twemoji): Adds support for rendering Twemoji images.
