6 years ago This is really great. Current official implementation is huge and slow.
While shortnameToImage looks optimized toshort is not. Therefore if I simply need to convert unicode text to the image I'm stuck with converting to short names and than to image. I'm not sure anybody really needs shortnames nowadays.
I really want to see simple toImage function without shortname support. Maybe official library could be published modular I can target unicode->image and include only needed information.
Improvements were suggested in https://github.com/emojione/emojione/pull/627 and https://github.com/emojione/emojione/pull/489
Hi,
for my needs i needed a simple converter that replaces unicode-emojis with emojione svgs. As the original library would have doubled the amount of data my page visitors need to download, i decided to create an own library that uses a space efficient data structure for only that special purpose. The lib has ~38kb / ~5kb gzipped file containing both, the algorithms and data.
It's definitely not well-tested and may require some polyfills for Non-ECMAScript-6-Browsers, but if someone is interested, look at my gists:
library only: https://gist.github.com/redeye86/562b8c7c9d4aee7ff4f458b5742f1ded
generator for the actual js file (to generate file for a folder containing code-point emoji files): https://gist.github.com/redeye86/f9d8102de69606a2984b715cf7537655
