# GoEmoji

I spent some time looking for something really simple: I wanted to be able to do this:

```bash

$ echo 'Hello world :tada:' | someprogram

Hello world 🎉

```

I didn't find one quickly enough, and as I want to learn go, I thought that doing it myself could be

a good task (and it was :smile: I learned a :shit:-load of new stuff :tada:)

To get it working on your machine, just grab the latest `.exe` from the [tags][], and add an alias

to it or add it in your `PATH`.

```bash

# .bashrc

alias goemoji="path/to/goemoji.exe $*"

```

*Note: the* `$*` *at then end allows to give arguments*

Now, you can do

```

$ echo 'I :heart: code' | goemoji

I ❤ code

```

You can also build it yourself, it's simple:

```

$ go build goemoji.go

```

:tada:

### Add a suffix

I'm on Windows, and I'm using Hyper. ~~At this time, Hyper has a bug, emoji take too much room, which

"eat" the following char~~. The solution to prevent this is to add a space just after (so that it

eats the space).

*Note: this bug has been fixed in the version* `1.3.1` *of Hyper. But I'll leave this feature, it*

*might be useful for some people*.

So, you can specify a suffix by passing it as an argument:

```

$ git log | goemoji " "

```

Or by setting it as an environment variable:

```

$ export GOEMOJI_SUFFIX=" "

$ git log | goemoji

```

### `--color=always`

Plenty of program add color to their output *only if the destination is a terminal*. So, when you

pipe it, it doesn't use colors (so you get emoji, but no color :disappointed:). It's the case for

`git log`.

Fortunatly, there's often an option to *oblige* colored output. For `git log`, it's `--color=always`

```

$ git log --color="always" --oneline --graph --decorate -10 --all | goemoji

```

:wink:

That's it! Hope you enjoy it (don't forget to :star: this repo if it did :smile:)
