Emoji

Emoji for Python. This project was inspired by kyokomi <https://github.com/kyokomi/emoji>__.

Example

The entire set of Emoji codes as defined by the Unicode consortium <https://unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-emoji-list.html>__ is supported in addition to a bunch of aliases <https://www.webfx.com/tools/emoji-cheat-sheet/>__. By default, only the official list is enabled but doing emoji.emojize(language='alias') enables both the full list and aliases.

.. code-block:: python

>>> import emoji
>>> print(emoji.emojize('Python is :thumbs_up:'))
Python is 👍
>>> print(emoji.emojize('Python is :thumbsup:', language='alias'))
Python is 👍
>>> print(emoji.demojize('Python is 👍'))
Python is :thumbs_up:
>>> print(emoji.emojize("Python is fun :red_heart:"))
Python is fun ❤
>>> print(emoji.emojize("Python is fun :red_heart:", variant="emoji_type"))
Python is fun ❤️ #red heart, not black heart
>>> print(emoji.is_emoji("👍"))
True

..

By default, the language is English (language='en') but also supported languages are:

  • Spanish ('es')
  • Portuguese ('pt')
  • Italian ('it')
  • French ('fr')
  • German ('de')
  • Farsi/Persian ('fa')
  • Indonesian ('id')
  • Simplified Chinese ('zh')
  • Japanese ('ja')
  • Korean ('ko')
  • Russian ('ru')
  • Arabic ('ar')
  • Turkish ('tr')

.. code-block:: python

>>> print(emoji.emojize('Python es :pulgar_hacia_arriba:', language='es'))
Python es 👍
>>> print(emoji.demojize('Python es 👍', language='es'))
Python es :pulgar_hacia_arriba:
>>> print(emoji.emojize("Python é :polegar_para_cima:", language='pt'))
Python é 👍
>>> print(emoji.demojize("Python é 👍", language='pt'))
Python é :polegar_para_cima:️

The utils/generate_emoji.py script is used to generate unicode_codes/emoji.json. Generally speaking it scrapes a table on the Unicode Consortium's website <https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr51/#emoji_data>__ with BeautifulSoup <http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/>__ For more information take a look in the utils/README.md <utils/README.md>__ file.

Check the code style with:

.. code-block:: console

$ python -m pip install ruff
$ ruff check emoji

Test the type checks with:

.. code-block:: console

$ python -m pip install pyright mypy typeguard
$ pyright emoji
$ pyright tests
$ mypy emoji
$ pytest --typeguard-packages=emoji
