NAME
Text::SlackEmoji - data for mapping Slack :emoji_strings: into Unicode text
VERSION
version 0.006
SYNOPSIS
use Text::SlackEmoji;
my $emoji = Text::SlackEmoji->emoji_map;
$slack_message =~ s!:([-+a-z0-9_]+):!$emoji->{$1} // ":$1:"!ge;
DESCRIPTION
This library is basically just a container around a hash mapping strings like "disappointed_relieved" to Unicode text like 😥 .
METHODS
load_emoji
This method reloads the emoji map from disk, allowing the mapping to be updated in (say) your IRC client without forcing the reload of the module.
emoji_map
This method takes no arguments and returns a hashref mapping Slack emoji names to Unicode strings. The strings may be more than one character long.
SECRET ORIGINS
I made the first version of this lookup to power a little irssi
plugin so that when using the Slack IRC gateway, I'd see the same emoji as the people using the Slack app, at least when possible.
