> A Laravel 5 Package for Using & Working With Emojis in your Laravel Apps
## Installation
[PHP](https://php.net) 7 and [Composer](https://getcomposer.org) are required.
To get the latest version of Laravel Emoji, simply add the following line to the require block of your `composer.json` file.
```
"unicodeveloper/laravel-emoji": "1.0.*"
```
You'll then need to run `composer install` or `composer update` to download it and have the autoloader updated.
Once Laravel Emoji is installed, you need to register the service provider. Open up `config/app.php` and add the following to the `providers` key.
* `Unicodeveloper\Emoji\EmojiServiceProvider::class`
Also, register the Facade like so:
```php
'aliases' => [
...
'Emoji' => Unicodeveloper\Emoji\Facades\Emoji::class,
...
]
```
## Usage
Translate Emoji names to Unicode and Vice-versa.
```php
>> Emoji::findByAlias("kissing_heart")
=> "😘"
>> Emoji::findByName("sunglasses")
=> "😎"
>> Emoji::findByUnicode("\u{1F603}")
=> "smiley"
```
This package contains some of the characters listed on http://unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-emoji-list.html
