Generic support for emoji sets and configurable custom emoji for üWave servers.

npm install --save u-wave-emoji

First create an instance of the u-wave-emoji plugin and .use() it. To enable custom emoji, also provide a local path or a custom blob-store instance. Then add the uw.emoji middleware to the Express app.

import emoji from 'u-wave-emoji';

uw.use(emoji({
  path: './custom-emoji',
  // OR
  store: require('fs-blob-store')('./custom-emoji')
}));


app.use('/assets/emoji', uw.emoji);

Create and use the emoji plugin.

Available options are:

• opts.path - A file path to a directory where custom emoji should be stored.
• opts.store - A blob-store to be used to store emoji. By default, an fs store is used that saves emoji in the directory specified by opts.path.

Use a predefined emoji set. Multiple emoji sets can be used. If there are duplicate shortcodes, emoji that were registered first take precedence over emoji that were registered later.

import emojione from 'u-wave-emojione'

uw.emoji.useEmojiSet(emojione)
