goemojify

Convert the aliases to emoji raw characters. (e.g. :+1: → 👍)

Installation

$ make && make install 

The binary goemojify will be located in $GOPATH/bin.

Dependencies

• emoji.json: emoji data from gemoji (official?)
• go-bindata: inject json into executable
• json-iterator: High-Performance JSON Tool
• cobra: Modern CLI

Usage

Same as the original use except for the following:

1. I renamed the executable to goemojify.
2. Interactive is not supported. (Should I do it? 🤔)

Additional feature

1. -f string: convert aliases to emoji in text file

$ goemojify -f emojify_tests.bats

Example

1. Convert the string inside ""

   

2. Use linux pipe

   

Credits

It's a golang port of the original emojify, all the glories should belong to mrowa44.

Thanks to

@haukened: His project is also aimed at converting aliases to emojis in Go, which can be imported into the Go module. I was able to get some hints on regular expressions (regexp) from his project. I am not going to distribute this project as a Go module.

@Nicola Apicella: Through his article I was able to learn how to use Linux pipe and cobra in Golang.
