Usage

npm i @emoji-platform-data/android

import { byEmoji, byTitle } from "@emoji-platform-data/android";

console.log(byEmoji["🐙"]);
/*
{
	emoji: "🐙",
	keywords: ["animal", "creature", "kraken", "octopus", "sea", "squid", "tentacle"],
}
*/

• byEmoji takes a glyph as any platform writes it, with or without its U+FE0F: byEmoji["⚓️"] and byEmoji["⚓"] are the same entry.
• byTitle takes a PascalCase Emojipedia title.

Each entry is an AndroidItem describing one emoji as Gboard -the keyboard Google ships with Android- knows it.

keywords are the sorted English terms Gboard's emoji search finds the emoji by, such as lulz and rotfl for 😂.

This package is only static JSON and types, with no runtime dependencies, and its data is also in the combined emoji-platform-data.

Where This Data Comes From

This is a snapshot of the English emoji search dictionary Gboard ships with, read out of the newest stable Android system image, and DEVELOPMENT.md explains how to refresh it.

It has none of the newer or other-language data Gboard can download once installed, and no names, categories, or picker order.

The keywords are Google's: this package's MIT license only covers the code that packages them, and this package includes no emoji artwork.
