emoji-shorts

Plenty of services love to use the emoji shortcodes in plain-text markup, so this library aims to simplify that process for you, making 😎 become :sunglasses:, 💡 to :bulb:, etc. There's an amazing list of shortcodes here if you want to explore them.

var emoji = require('emoji-shorts');

console.log(emoji.toPlain('These violent delights have violent ends 😈'));
// These violent delights have violent ends :smiling_imp:

console.log(emoji.toRich('The most elegant parts of me weren\'t written by you :thinking:'));
// The most elegant parts of me weren't written by you 🤔

This module is built using lodash.toarray@4 and github/gemoji (a big 👏 to both teams for their excellent work on those). The latter has had some post-processing done to make lookups more efficient.
