Installation
To install EmojiPicker, follow these steps:
- Open your terminal or command prompt

Usage
Once EmojiPicker is installed, you can start using it in your project:
Import the library
First, you need to import the EmojiPicker library in your JavaScript file. Depending on your project setup, you can use ES modules or a script tag.
import EmojiPicker from 'emojipicker';
<script src="path/to/emojipicker.js"></script>
Create the emoji picker
To create an instance of the emoji picker:
const picker = new EmojiPicker();
Initialize the picker
Before you can use the picker, it needs to be initialized with a target element. This element will trigger the emoji picker when clicked.
picker.init({
target: document.getElementById('emoji-picker-target'),
});
Configuration
The EmojiPicker library also allows you to customize various aspects of the emoji picker. You can pass a configuration object to the init()
method to customize its behavior.
Here are some available configuration options:
Positioning
You can define the position of the emoji picker. By default, it will be positioned at the bottom right of the target element.
picker.init({
target: document.getElementById('emoji-picker-target'),
position: 'bottom right',
});
Custom emojis
If you want to include custom emojis in the picker, you can provide an array of custom emoji images or URLs.
picker.init({
target: document.getElementById('emoji-picker-target'),
customEmojis: [
'path/to/custom-emoji-1.png',
'https://example.com/custom-emoji-2.png',
],
});
Events
The EmojiPicker library also provides several events that you can use to handle interactions with the emoji picker.
emojiSelected
This event is triggered when the user selects an emoji from the picker. You can use it to perform any actions with the selected emoji.
picker.on('emojiSelected', (emoji) => {
// Process the selected emoji
console.log(emoji);
});
