EmojioneArea

EmojioneArea is a small jQuery plugin that allows you to transform any html element into simple WYSIWYG editor with ability to use Emojione icons.
The end result is a secure text/plain in which the image icons will be replaced with their Unicode analogues.

Preview version 3.x

EmojioneArea version 3.0.0

See the Live Demo here

Version 2.1.x

Installation

The preferred way to install is via bower, npm or composer.

bower install emojionearea#^3.0.0
# or
npm install emojionearea@^3.0.0
# or
composer require mervick/emojionearea ^3.0.0

Usage

Add the following lines to the head:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="file/to/path/css/emojionearea.min.css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="file/to/path/js/emojionearea.min.js"></script>

Simple usage:

<textarea id="example1"></textarea>
<script type="text/javascript">
  $(document).ready(function() {
    $("#example1").emojioneArea();
  });
</script>

EmojioneArea uses awesome Emojione emojis.
So when emojionearea.js loads, it's require to emojione.js loaded too, but if it not loaded in the page then EmojioneArea loads it from CDN.
For avoiding this behavior you can add emojione.js and emojione.css into your page.

Customize emojione version

By changing value below you can change emojione version which will be loaded from CDN

window.emojioneVersion = "3.1.2";

Events Usage

There are 2 ways to set events, directly in options via options events.
Note: For events with . (dot) you can set event name with _(dash) instead of . (dot) here.

Example, set events in the options:

$("selector").emojioneArea({
  events: {
    paste: function (editor, event) {
      console.log('event:paste');
    },
    change: function (editor, event) {
      console.log('event:change');
    },
    emojibtn_click: function (button, event) {
      console.log('event:emojibtn.click, emoji=' + button.children().data("name"));
    }
  }
});

Also you can manage events via .on(), .off() and .trigger() methods

Example:

  var el = $("selector").emojioneArea();

  // attach event handler
  el[0].emojioneArea.on("emojibtn.click", function(button, event) {
    console.log('event:emojibtn.click, emoji=' + button.children().data("name"));
  });
  // unset all handlers attached to event
  el[0].emojioneArea.off("emojibtn.click");

  // like in jQuery you can specify few events separated by space
  el[0].emojioneArea.off("focus blur");

  // set & unset custom handler
  var eventHandler1 = function(button, event) {
    console.log('event1');
  };
  var eventHandler2 = function(button, event) {
    console.log('event2');
  };
  // attach event handlers
  el[0].emojioneArea.on("click", eventHandler1);
  el[0].emojioneArea.on("click", eventHandler2);
  // unset eventHandler1
  el[0].emojioneArea.off("click", eventHandler1);

Building

Building EmojiOneArea requires grunt, compass, and sass to be available

For making changes and build project (scss/js):

npm update
npm run build

PRs welcome!!!

FAQ / Troubleshooting

EmojiOne icons are appearing larger than expected

Most likely caused by including some scripts in the wrong order (or perhaps not at all!) Include jQuery, then EmojiOne, then EmojiOneArea scripts

Can I use EmojiOneArea to just display Emoji icons in a div?

EmojiOneArea is intended to be a text editor which supports EmojiOne. If you just want to display Emoji icons, the EmojiOne library already provides everything you need.

Can I add extra buttons into EmojiOneArea, alongside the existing emoji picker icon?

This is not fully supported, but you could respond to the jQuery onLoad event which EmojiOneArea fires once its initialised, and insert your buttons into the DOM at this point see mervick#152

Firefox is not positioning the input caret correctly in EmojiOneArea

This appears to be a long standing FireFox bug, apparently related to contenteditable, the placeholder attribute, and the pseudo :before or :after classes https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1020973

There are various workarounds such as changing placeholder, or adding some padding See mervick#86

Can I modify the position of EmojiOneArea picker?

You can use the pickerPosition option which provides basic control of where the picker appears, in relation to the source input. For more control, you could apply translate CSS to the picker

Known Issues

Internet Explorer focus issues

IE 11 causes EmojiOneArea to hide (and trigger blur event) when the emoji picker scrollbar is clicked There is no current fix for this, although there are a few crude workarounds See mervick#127

EmojiOneArea positioning

There are known issues with positioning the EmojiOneArea picker. It does not currently ensure the picker is entirely visible on small screen devices, or positioned properly when it is invoked from the bottom of a page (it could be clipped) See mervick#131

Browser loads the textcomplete.js from CDN, everytime an EmojiOneArea is instantiated

You can avoid this by explicitly including the textcomplete script into your document. If it already exists, EmojiOneArea will use the preloaded script instead of attempting to load it from CDN for each instance You can also avoid this by disabling autocomplete entirely by setting the autocomplete option to false
