Emoji One Area

Emojione-area 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.

Demo

From:

To:

Code:

<div class="row">
  <div class="col-6">
    <p>From:</p>
    <textarea id="demo1">
Lorem ipsum dolor 😍 sit amet, consectetur 👻 adipiscing elit, 🖐 sed do eiusmod tempor ☔ incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua 🐬.
</textarea>
  </div>
  <div class="col-6">
    <p>To:</p>
    <div id="container"></div>
  </div>
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
  $(document).ready(function() {
    $("#demo1").emojioneArea({
      container: "#container",
      hideSource: false,
    });
  });
</script>

Standalone mode

Allows a single emoji to be picked without a text input, useful for emoji reactions or as an addition to another WYSIWYG editor. Can be initialised with an initial value or a placeholder.

  <div id="standalone" data-emoji-placeholder=":smiley:"></div>

  <script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
      $("#standalone").emojioneArea({
        standalone: true,
        autocomplete: false
      });
    });
  </script>

Api

  .on(events, handler);
  // - events
  //   Type: String
  //   One or more space-separated event types and optional namespaces
  // - handler
  //   Type: Function(jQuery Element, Event eventObject [, Anything extraParameter ] [, ... ] )
  //   A function to execute when the event is triggered.

  .off(events[, handler]);
  // - events

  //   One or more space-separated event types and optional namespaces
  // - handler
  //   Type: Function(jQuery Element, Event eventObject [, Anything extraParameter ] [, ... ] )
  //   A handler function previously attached for the event(s)

  // built-in events:
  //   "mousedown", "mouseup", "click", "keyup", "keydown", "keypress"
  //   "filter.click", "emojibtn.click", "arrowLeft.click", "arrowRight.click",

  // Usage methods, example:
  var el = $("selector").emojioneArea();
  el[0].emojioneArea.on("emojibtn.click", function(btn) {
    console.log(btn.html());
  });
  

Events

Two ways to set events, in options:

$("selector").emojioneArea({
  events: {
    /**
     * @param {jQuery} editor EmojioneArea input
     * @param {Event} event jQuery Event object
     */
    focus: function (editor, event) {
      console.log('event:focus');
    },
    /**
     * @param {jQuery} editor EmojioneArea input
     * @param {Event} event jQuery Event object
     */
    blur: function (editor, event) {
      console.log('event:blur');
    },
    /**
     * @param {jQuery} editor EmojioneArea input
     * @param {Event} event jQuery Event object
     */
    mousedown: function (editor, event) {
      console.log('event:mousedown');
    },
    /**
     * @param {jQuery} editor EmojioneArea input
     * @param {Event} event jQuery Event object
     */
    mouseup: function (editor, event) {
      console.log('event:mouseup');
    },
    /**
     * @param {jQuery} editor EmojioneArea input
     * @param {Event} event jQuery Event object
     */
    click: function (editor, event) {
      console.log('event:click');
    },
    /**
     * @param {jQuery} editor EmojioneArea input
     * @param {Event} event jQuery Event object
     */
    keyup: function (editor, event) {
      console.log('event:keyup');
    },
    /**
     * @param {jQuery} editor EmojioneArea input
     * @param {Event} event jQuery Event object
     */
    keydown: function (editor, event) {
      console.log('event:keydown');
    },
    /**
     * @param {jQuery} editor EmojioneArea input
     * @param {Event} event jQuery Event object
     */
    keypress: function (editor, event) {
      console.log('event:keypress');
    },
    /**
     * @param {jQuery} editor EmojioneArea input
     * @param {Event} event jQuery Event object
     */
    paste: function (editor, event) {
      console.log('event:paste');
    },
    /**
     * @param {jQuery} editor EmojioneArea input
     * @param {Event} event jQuery Event object
     */
    change: function (editor, event) {
      console.log('event:change');
    },
    /**
     * @param {jQuery} filter EmojioneArea filter
     * @param {Event} event jQuery Event object
     */
    filter_click: function (filter, event) {
      console.log('event:filter.click, filter=' + filter.data("filter"));
    },
    /**
     * @param {jQuery} button EmojioneArea emoji button
     * @param {Event} event jQuery Event object
     */
    emojibtn_click: function (button, event) {
      console.log('event:emojibtn.click, emoji=' + button.children().data("name"));
    },
    /**
     * @param {jQuery} button EmojioneArea left arrow button
     * @param {Event} event jQuery Event object
     */
    arrowLeft_click: function (button, event) {
      console.log('event:arrowLeft.click');
    },
    /**
     * @param {jQuery} button EmojioneArea right arrow button
     * @param {Event} event jQuery Event object
     */
    arrowRight_click: function (button, event) {
      console.log('event:arrowRight.click');
    }
  }
});

or by .on() & .off() methods:

  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);
