⭐⭐⭐ Emoji Parser for SilverStripe ⭐⭐⭐

Render Emojis in your template, so that a :smile: becomes a real 😄

Usage

Copy or clone the project to your SilverStripe instance folder or using composer:

  composer require pstaender/silverstripe-emoji-parser dev-master

Wheny you're done flush SilverStripe cache with ?flush=1.

In your templates you can now parse Emojis with:

  <h1>$Title</h1>
  $Content.Parse(Emoji)

Of course also in combination with other parsers:

  <h1>$Title</h1>
  $Content.Parse(BBCodeParser).Parse(Emoji)

All rendered icon-image-tags contain the class emoji so that you can easily define a style, for instance:

   img.emoji {
     height: 1em;
     margin: 0 1em 0 1em;
   }

JSON for clientside JavaScript usage

You can access all emojis including the url to graphics by requesting Emojis_Controller:

  http://yourserver/Emojis_Controller/

and use the responded JSON:

{

    "100": "silverstripe-emoji-parser/graphics/emojis/100.png",
    "-1": "silverstripe-emoji-parser/graphics/emojis/-1.png",
    "+1": "silverstripe-emoji-parser/graphics/emojis/+1.png",
    …
}

Optional configuration

You can optionally configure these values in your config.yml:

  Emojis:
    basePath: pathToGraphics
    cssClass: classNameForCSS

TODO

Implement alternate unicode characters.
