nativescript-pure-emoji-picker😃

This is an emoji picker - built out of pure nativescript components only!

Limitations

• Angular needed: This plugin currently only works in an Angular NativeScript project. Feel free to clone this repo and port it to JavaScript!
• Search not implemented yet
• Skins not implemented yet

Installation

• First copy the the folders in from here to your assets folder (/app/assets/).
• Then install the plugin using tns plugin add nativescript-pure-emoji-picker

Usage

Include the PickerModule in your app.module.ts like so:

import { PickerModule } from "nativescript-emoji-picker";

...

@NgModule({
  declarations: [HomeComponent, otherComponents,],
  imports: [NativeScriptCommonModule, PickerModule, otherModules,],
  schemas: [NO_ERRORS_SCHEMA],
})
export class AppModule { }

and use it in your Template like this:

<emoji-picker showEmojiPicker="true"></emoji-picker>

Important: You can't use the *ngIf directive on this element because of a bug with NativeScript's TabView. Just set the showEmojiPicker property to false and the picker will disappear.

To use different emojis then Apple's, you only have to change the .png files in your app's assets/emoji-picker-emojis folder. The emojis I'm using are downloaded from https://github.com/iamcal/emoji-data. Be sure to use the 64px files, as the already more than 10 MB big.
