Sheet sizes

Sheets are served from unpkg, a global CDN that serves files published to npm.

Set	Size (sheetSize: 16)	Size (sheetSize: 20)	Size (sheetSize: 32)	Size (sheetSize: 64)
apple	334 KB	459 KB	1.08 MB	2.94 MB

Datasets

While all sets are available by default, you may want to include only a single set data to reduce the size of your bundle.

Set	Size (on disk)
all	570 KB
apple	484 KB
emojione	485 KB
facebook	421 KB
google	483 KB
messenger	197 KB
twitter	484 KB

To use these data files (or any other custom data), use the NimblePicker component:

import data from 'emoji-mart-vue/data/messenger.json'
import { NimblePicker } from 'emoji-mart-vue'

<nimble-picker set="messenger" :data="data" />

Examples of emoji object:

{
  id: 'smiley',
  name: 'Smiling Face with Open Mouth',
  colons: ':smiley:',
  text: ':)',
  emoticons: [
    '=)',
    '=-)'
  ],
  skin: null,
  native: '😃'
}
 
{
  id: 'santa',
  name: 'Father Christmas',
  colons: ':santa::skin-tone-3:',
  text: '',
  emoticons: [],
  skin: 3,
  native: '🎅🏼'
}
 
{
  id: 'octocat',
  name: 'Octocat',
  colons: ':octocat',
  text: '',
  emoticons: [],
  custom: true,
  imageUrl: 'https://assets-cdn.github.com/images/icons/emoji/octocat.png?v7'
}

Unsupported emojis fallback

Certain sets don’t support all emojis (i.e. Messenger & Facebook don’t support :shrug:). By default the Emoji component will not render anything so that the emojis’ don’t take space in the picker when not available. When using the standalone Emoji component, you can however render anything you want by providing the fallback props.

To have the component render :shrug: you would need to:

function emojiFallback(emoji) {
  return `:${emoji.short_names[0]}:`
}

<emoji
  set="messenger"
  emoji="shrug"
  :size="24"
  :fallback="emojiFallback"
/>

Custom emojis

You can provide custom emojis which will show up in their own category.

import { Picker } from 'emoji-mart-vue'
 
const customEmojis = [
  {
    name: 'Octocat',
    short_names: ['octocat'],
    text: '',
    emoticons: [],
    keywords: ['github'],
    imageUrl: 'https://assets-cdn.github.com/images/icons/emoji/octocat.png?v7'
  }
]

<picker :custom="customEmojis" />

Headless search

The Picker doesn’t have to be mounted for you to take advantage of the advanced search results.

import { emojiIndex } from 'emoji-mart-vue'
 
emojiIndex.search('christmas').map((o) => o.native)
// => [🎄, 🎅🏼, 🔔, 🎁, ⛄️, ❄️]

With custom data

import data from 'emoji-mart-vue/data/messenger'
import { NimbleEmojiIndex } from 'emoji-mart-vue'
 
let emojiIndex = new NimbleEmojiIndex(data)
emojiIndex.search('christmas')

Storage

By default EmojiMart will store user chosen skin and frequently used emojis in localStorage. That can however be overwritten should you want to store these in your own storage.

import { store } from 'emoji-mart-vue'
 
store.setHandlers({
  getter: (key) => {
    // Get from your own storage (sync)
  },
 
  setter: (key, value) => {
    // Persist in your own storage (can be async)
  }
})

Possible keys are:

Key	Value	Description
skin	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
frequently	{ 'astonished': 11, '+1': 22 }	An object where the key is the emoji name and the value is the usage count
last	'astonished'	(Optional) Used by frequently to be sure the latest clicked emoji will always appear in the “Recent” category

Features

Powerful search

Short name, name and keywords

Not only does Emoji Mart return more results than most emoji picker, they’re more accurate and sorted by relevance.

Emoticons

The only emoji picker that returns emojis when searching for emoticons.

Results intersection

For better results, Emoji Mart split search into words and only returns results matching both terms.

Fully customizable

Anchors color, title and default emoji

Emojis sizes and length

Default skin color

As the developer, you have control over which skin color is used by default.

It can however be overwritten as per user preference.

Multiple sets supported

Apple / Google / Twitter / EmojiOne / Messenger / Facebook

Not opinionated

Emoji Mart doesn’t automatically insert anything into a text input, nor does it show or hide itself. It simply returns an emoji object. It’s up to the developer to mount/unmount (it’s fast!) and position the picker. You can use the returned object as props for the EmojiMart.Emoji component. You could also use emoji.colons to insert text into a textarea or emoji.native to use the emoji.
