EmojiKit - Emojis

Emoji Model

EmojiKit has an Emoji struct that lets you work with emojis in structured ways:

let emoji = Emoji("😀")

You can use Emoji.all to get a list of all emojis from all categories, that are available to the currently exeucting runtime:

let emojis = Emoji.all          // 😀😃😄😁😆🥹😅😂🤣🥲...

The Emoji type also serves as a namespace for most EmojiKit features, which means that most types are wrapped within this struct.

Unicode Information

The Emoji type has unicode-specific properties that are used for identity and naming:

Emoji("👍").unicodeIdentifier   // \\N{THUMBS UP SIGN}
Emoji("👍🏿").unicodeIdentifier   // \\N{THUMBS UP SIGN}\\N{EMOJI MODIFIER FITZPATRICK TYPE-6}
Emoji("🚀").unicodeIdentifier   // \\N{ROCKET}
Emoji("👍").unicodeName         // Thumbs Up Sign
Emoji("👍🏿").unicodeName         // Thumbs Up Sign
Emoji("🚀").unicodeName         // Rocket

These properties have manual overrides for emojis that lack proper information, such as flags.

Search

The Emoji type supports searching for emojis that matches certain search queries:

Emoji("👍").matches("thumb")    // true
Emoji("👍🏿").matches("thumb")    // true
Emoji("🚀").matches("thumb")    // true

[Emoji("👍"), Emoji("👍🏿") Emoji("🚀")]
    .matching("thumb")          // 👍, 👍🏿

This can be used to quickly filter emojis in code or letting users search for specific emojis.

Extensions

EmojiKit has String and Character extensions that can be used to detect and handle emojis:

"Hello!".containsEmoji          // false
"Hello! 👋".containsEmoji       // true
"Hello! 👋".containsOnlyEmojis  // false
"👋".containsOnlyEmojis         // true
"Hello! 👋😀".emojis            // ["👋", "😀"]
"Hello! 👋😀".emojiString       // "👋😀"
"🫸🫷".isSingleEmoji            // false
"👍".isSingleEmoji              // true
