unicode-emoji-parser

A playground project that uses swift-parsing for parsing emojis from unicode.org.

• UnicodeEmojiModels module provides swift representations for emojis

• UnicodeEmojiParser module includes

  • EmojiSourceAPIClient that can fetch unparsed file
  • EmojiAPIClient that can fetch latest emojis and parse them
    • Uses EmojiSourceAPIClient.default by default
    • Uses UnicodeEmojiSourceParser by default
  • UnicodeEmojiSourceParser that can parse contents of file provided by unicode.org

• UnicodeEmojiParserCLI module produces unicode-emoji-parser executable

  • unicode-emoji-parser version prints version
  • unicode-emoji-parser fetch --output="<output_path>" can fetch file to a local destination
  • unicode-emoji-parser generate --input="<local_file>" --output="<output_file>" will generate a swift file with emoji declarations from a local file
    • --input="<local_file>" can be omitted, in that case it will fetch latest emojis before generating declarations
    • It supports multiple styles
      • --style=grouped is default, generates an ordered dictionary of groupped emojis
      • --style=emojis generates an array of emojis with embedded skin tones
      • --style=values generates an array of plain emoji values

• UnicodeEmojiPrinter module is a core of unicode-emoji-parser generation, it contains printers that can convert parsed data to strings, it includes

  Currently it only supports swift

Since it's just a playground, this package doesn't provide much infrastructure/prebuilt executables, maybe in the future it'll provide more configuration for the cli, spm plugins, more formats etc. but no promises from my side 💁‍♂️
