Emoji Picker

An emoji picker for Sanity that uses Emoji Mart.

Installation

cd my-sanity-studio
sanity install emoji-picker

Usage

To use the emoji picker, add emoji as the type of a field in your schema. This will render a field where you can select an emoji using the emoji-mart picker, and see a summary of the emoji you selected.

export default {
  name: "mySchema",
  title: "My Schema",
  type: "document",
  fields: [
    {
      name: "myField",
      title: "My field",
      type: "emoji",
    },
  ],
}

The emoji picker saves all the details about the emoji you selected*. This allows you to query specific emoji info when you need the emoji elsewhere.

(*) Please note that this means you will see all the related emoji information when reviewing the changes of a document with the emoji type using the Review Changes feature.

export default {
  name: "emoji",
  title: "Emoji",
  type: "object",
  inputComponent: EmojiInput,
  fields: [
    {
      name: "id",
      title: "ID",
      type: "string"
    },
    {
      name: "name",
      title: "Name",
      type: "string"
    },
    {
      name: "colons",
      title: "Colons",
      type: "string"
    },
    {
      name: "text",
      title: "Text",
      type: "string"
    },
    {
      name: "emoticons",
      title: "Emoticons",
      type: "array",
      of: [{ type: "string" }]
    },
    {
      name: "short_names",
      title: "Short-names",
      type: "array",
      of: [{ type: "string" }]
    },
    {
      name: "skin",
      title: "Skin",
      type: "number"
    },
    {
      name: "unified",
      title: "Unified",
      type: "string"
    },
    {
      name: "native",
      title: "Native",
      type: "string"
    },
    {
      name: "imageUrl",
      title: "Image URL",
      type: "url"
    },
    {
      name: "keywords",
      title: "Keywords",
      type: "array",
      of: [{ type: "string" }]
    },
    {
      name: "customCategory",
      title: "Custom Category",
      type: "string"
    }
  ]
}

If you query for a document that uses the emoji type and has the house emoji selected, it will return:

const query = `*[_type == 'mySchema'][0]`
client.get(query).then(result => {
  console.log(result)
})

// returns:
// {
//   ...,
//   "emoji": {
//     "colons": ":house:",
//     "emoticons": [],
//     "id": "house",
//     "name": "House Building",
//     "native": "🏠",
//     "short_names": ["house"],
//     "unified": "1f3e0"
//   }
// }
