django-emoji 1.0

Quick start

1. Install django-emoji from PyPi:

   pip install django-emoji

2. Add “emoji” to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:

   INSTALLED_APPS = (
       ...
       'emoji',
   )

3. Include the emoji URLconf in your project urls.py like this if you want to be able to get a JSON list of emojis:

   url(r'^emoji/', include('emoji.urls')),

4. Visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/emoji/all.json to get a json object with all emojis avilable

Usage

Replace an emoji using Python templates by loading the tags in your template:

{% load emoji_tags %}
blog_post.body|emoji_replace

Replace emojis using Javascript (to for instance show a preview before the user saves what it is they are writing):

{% load emoji_tags %}

<script src="{% static 'emoji/js/emoji.js' %}"></script>
{% emoji_load %}

Emoji.get('dog') // => url stub to dog emoji or falsy
Emoji.get() // => all emojis available

Emoji.replace("It's raining :cats: and :dogs:.") // => It's raining <img src="..." alt="cats" class="emoji"> and <img src="..." alt="dogs" class="emoji">

What emoji_load does is that it sets the endpoint to retrieve the listing of all the available emojis and thus only works if the emoji urls has been included.

It is the equivalent of doing:

Emoji.setDataUrl('{% url 'emoji:list.json' %}').load();

Which is also available as template stub:

{% include 'emoji/script.html' %}

Usage from inside Python where the Emoji class mimics some of the behavior of a dict:

from emoji import Emoji
Emoji['dog'] # => url stub to dog emoji or None
'dog' in Emoji # => True
Emoji.keys() # => a list of all emojis by name
Emoji.replace("It's raining :cats: and :dogs:") # => It's raining <img src="..." alt="cats" class="emoji"> and <img src="..." alt="dogs" class="emoji">
