## Description

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:️

..

Installation
------------

Via pip:

.. code-block:: console

    $ python -m pip install emoji --upgrade

From master branch:

.. code-block:: console

    $ git clone https://github.com/carpedm20/emoji.git
    $ cd emoji
    $ python -m pip install .


Developing
----------

.. code-block:: console

    $ git clone https://github.com/carpedm20/emoji.git
    $ cd emoji
    $ python -m pip install -e .\[dev\]
    $ pytest
    $ coverage run -m pytest
    $ coverage report

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
