`node-emoji` provides a fun, straightforward interface on top of the following excellent libraries:

- [`emojilib`](https://npmjs.org/package/emojilib): provides a list of emojis and keyword search on top of it

- [`skin-tone`](https://npmjs.org/package/skin-tone): parses out base emojis from skin tones

## Install

```sh

npm install node-emoji

```

### 2.0 Release 🚀

This is the new 2.0 release of node-emoji, supporting ESM, new emoji and a new API.

If you want to use the old version, please check out the [legacy branch](https://github.com/omnidan/node-emoji/tree/legacy).

## Usage

```js

import * as emoji from 'node-emoji'

emoji.emojify('I :heart: :coffee:!') // 'I ❤️ ☕️!'

emoji.find('heart') // { emoji: '❤', name: 'heart' }

emoji.find('❤️') // { emoji: '❤', name: 'heart' }

emoji.get('unicorn') // 🦄

emoji.get(':unicorn:') // 🦄

emoji.has(':pizza:') // true

emoji.has('🍕') // true

emoji.has('unknown') // false

emoji.random() // { name: 'house', emoji: '🏠' }

emoji.replace('I ❤️ coffee!', 'love', { preserveSpaces: true }) // 'I love coffee!'

emoji.search(':uni:') // [ { emoji: '🦄', name: 'unicorn' }, ... ]

emoji.strip('I ❤️ coffee!') // 'I coffee!'

emoji.unemojify('🍕 for 💃') // ':pizza: for :dancer:'

emoji.which('🦄') // 'unicorn'

```
