README

An extension to provide GitHub and Slack style emoji for the League CommonMark package. By default, it will substitute official unicode CLDR short names for the emoji, but can also use aliases to map common language to the official name. The generated output wraps the emoji in a <span> to permit additional styling and provides a title attribute for accessibility.

Quality

Installing

composer require giberti/commonmark-emoji-extension

Usage

use Giberti\EmojiExtension\EmojiExtension;

Basic

To use, add a new instance of EmojiExtension to the CommonMark environment and use as you would normally.

// Get a configured instance of the converter
$environment = new \League\CommonMark\Environment\Environment();
$environment->addExtension(new \League\CommonMark\Extension\CommonMark\CommonMarkCoreExtension());
$environment->addExtension(new \Giberti\EmojiExtension\EmojiExtension());
$converter = new \League\CommonMark\MarkdownConverter($environment);

// <p>I can haz <span class="emoji" title="hot_beverage">☕</span>?</p>
echo $converter->convert('I can haz :hot_beverage:?')->getContent();

Providing Aliases

GitHub and Slack both shortcuts that do not map directly to the official Unicode CLDR Short Name. Mappings can be injected at the time the instance of EmojiExtension is created.

The Aliases should be passed as an associative array with the key being the new alias and the value being the CLDR Short Name equivalent.

$aliases = [
    ':coffee:' => ':hot_beverage:',
    ':smile:' => ':grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:',
    // ... any other aliases you wish to support
];

// Get a configured instance of the converter
$environment = new \League\CommonMark\Environment\Environment();
$environment->addExtension(new \League\CommonMark\Extension\CommonMark\CommonMarkCoreExtension());
$environment->addExtension(new \Giberti\EmojiExtension\EmojiExtension($aliases));
$converter = new \League\CommonMark\MarkdownConverter($environment);

// <p>I can haz <span class="emoji" title="coffee">☕</span>?</p>
echo $converter->convert('I can haz :coffee:?')->getContent();
