Moving forward
So I have been keeping busy with few of my projects and really don't want to stop the maintenance of this project. I really want to improve this module moving forward. The TODO currently includes:
- improve the development experience by better code, removing grunt (and replacing it with npm scripts)
- fix the bugs
- make the features optional and provide an option for custom build. tree shaking will do too.
- ES2015
- Start work on Angular 2.
I would really welcome contribution and collaboration on this. I would also like to welcome @robman87 as a collaborator and would be hopefully investing more time on this in the near future. Thanks.
Thank you @ritz078 , I like this project and will try to help out now and then. Sounds like a good plan 👍
@ritz078 I took a look at your excellent emoji-js project. Why not use that as a dependency and integrate the vanilla JS version with AngularJS?
Reasons:
- It uses many libraries like
fetch,fetch-jsonpwhich are not needed in Angular. - certain utility functions are already available in Angular.
- I don't need promises in angular due to the 2 way data binding.
So If I use that here, there will be lot of extra code that is not needed. I also plan to change that library to something like babel which uses different features by the help of plugins.
