Include categories in NPM package #187

Closed wilg closed 3 years ago

wilg commented 3 years ago

I don't need the sprite sheets but I do need the categories, seems like a small enough file to include.

iamcal commented 3 years ago

good idea. this is now on-trunk for the next release

in the meantime, you can construct categories.json directly from the emoji.json data (the category and sort_order fields)

wilg commented 3 years ago

Actually, I should clarify that what I was after was the sort order of the categories – my use case is displaying the emoji categories in the "standard" order (like iOS or Slack does). Unless this is derivable somehow from the existing json? I don't actually need the list of emojis in each.

ahh, that makes sense. that data is not present in emoji.json today.

categories and subcategories (along with their sort order) are now in the categories.json file
