nlcst utility to classify emoji and gemoji shortcodes as EmoticonNodes.

Contents

What is this?

This utility searches for emoji (πŸ‘) and gemoji shortcodes (:+1:) and turns them into separate nodes.

When should I use this?

This package is a tiny utility that helps when dealing with emoji and gemoji in natural language. The plugin retext-emoji wraps this utility and others at a higher-level (easier) abstraction.

Install

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 14.14+ and 16.0+), install with npm:

npm install nlcst-emoji-modifier

In Deno with esm.sh:

import {emojiModifier} from 'https://esm.sh/nlcst-emoji-modifier@5'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import {emojiModifier} from 'https://esm.sh/nlcst-emoji-modifier@5?bundle'
</script>

Use

import {emojiModifier} from 'nlcst-emoji-modifier'
import {inspect} from 'unist-util-inspect'
import {ParseEnglish} from 'parse-english'

const english = new ParseEnglish()
english.tokenizeSentencePlugins.unshift(emojiModifier)

console.log(inspect(english.parse('It’s raining :cat:s and :dog:s.')))

Yields:

RootNode[1] (1:1-1:32, 0-31)
└─ ParagraphNode[1] (1:1-1:32, 0-31)
   └─ SentenceNode[11] (1:1-1:32, 0-31)

API

This package exports the identifier emojiModifier. There is no default export.

emojiModifier(node)

Classify emoji (πŸ‘) and Gemoji (GitHub emoji, πŸ‘) in node as Emoticons.

Parameters
Returns

Given, transformed, node (Sentence).

Emoticon

Emoticon node (TypeScript type).

See Emoticon in nlcst-emoticon-modifier.

Types

This package is fully typed with TypeScript. It exports the additional type Emoticon.

It also registers the Emoticon node type with @types/nlcst in SentenceContentMap. If you’re working with the syntax tree, make sure to import this utility somewhere in your types, as that registers the new node types in the tree.

/**
 * @typedef {import('nlcst-emoji-modifier')}
 */

import {visit} from 'unist-util-visit'

/** @type {import('nlcst').Root} */
const tree = getNodeSomeHow()

visit(tree, (node) => {
  // `node` can now be a `Emoticon` node.
})

Compatibility

Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with all maintained versions of Node.js. As of now, that is Node.js 14.14+ and 16.0+. Our projects sometimes work with older versions, but this is not guaranteed.
