Text Formatter Laravel Package

Manage aliases

Aliases can be managed via the $aliases property, an associative array that maps aliases (as keys) to fully-qualified emoji or emoji sequences (as values.)

$configurator = new s9e\TextFormatter\Configurator;
$configurator->Emoji->aliases[':D'] = '😀';

// Get an instance of the parser and the renderer
extract($configurator->finalize());

$text = 'Hello world :D';
$xml  = $parser->parse($text);
$html = $renderer->render($xml);

echo $html;

Hello world <img alt=":D" class="emoji" draggable="false" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/twemoji@latest/assets/svg/1f600.svg">

Configure aliases at parsing time

Starting with 1.3, emoji aliases can be read and modified at parsing time via $parser->registeredVars['Emoji.aliases'] in PHP and s9e.TextFormatter.registeredVars['Emoji.aliases'] in JavaScript. Do note that while removing an alias will prevent it from being used, only aliases that start and end with a : and only contain lowercase letters, digits, _, - and + can be added at parsing time.

$configurator = new s9e\TextFormatter\Configurator;
$configurator->Emoji;

// Get an instance of the parser and the renderer
extract($configurator->finalize());

$text = 'Hi :smiling_face:';
$xml  = $parser->parse($text);
$html = $renderer->render($xml);
echo "$html\n";

// Add an alias before parsing the text again
$parser->registeredVars['Emoji.aliases'][':smiling_face:'] = '😀';

$xml  = $parser->parse($text);
$html = $renderer->render($xml);
echo $html;

Hi :smiling_face:
Hi <img alt=":smiling_face:" class="emoji" draggable="false" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/twemoji@latest/assets/svg/1f600.svg">

Using Twemoji assets with text parsed on an older release

Before 1.3, support for Twemoji was incomplete due to a discrepancy between Twemoji's file naming scheme and the default set used by the plugin. Starting with 1.3, a tseq attribute has been added to the output and can be used to display Twemoji assets from their CDN. Reparsing the old text fixes this issue. Alternatively, it is possible to use an xsl:choose conditional to use a different image source depending on the presence of the tseq attribute.

$configurator = new s9e\TextFormatter\Configurator;
$configurator->Emoji->getTag()->template =
	'<xsl:choose>
		<xsl:when test="[@tseq](https://github.com/tseq)">
			<img alt="{.}" class="emoji" draggable="false"
				src="//twemoji.maxcdn.com/v/latest/svg/{[@tseq](https://github.com/tseq)}.svg"/>
		</xsl:when>
		<xsl:otherwise>
			<img alt="{.}" class="emoji" draggable="false"
				src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/s9e/emoji-assets-twemoji@12.0.1/dist/svgz/{[@seq](https://github.com/seq)}.svgz"/>
		</xsl:otherwise>
	</xsl:choose>';

extract($configurator->finalize());

$xml = "<r><EMOJI seq=\"00a9\">\u{a9}\u{fe0f}</EMOJI>\n"
     . "<EMOJI tseq=\"a9\" seq=\"00a9\">\u{a9}\u{fe0f}</EMOJI></r>";

echo $renderer->render($xml);
