An extended JavaFX TextFlow with custom emoji images which helps you to achieve consistency in your JavaFX cross-platform UI applications displaying emojis along text.

It helps you to parse a plane text with emoji aliases with : around the alias (ex. 😄 ) or unicode emoji symbols to custom emoji images with text
and wraps it in custom EmojiTextFlow that is based on JavaFX TextFlow

See demo GIFs with examples under doc/img

Example code is in: src/main/java/ExampleJavaFXEmojiTextFlow.java

First you need to get .jar file with EmojiTextFlow from releases, here on github (NOTE: following configuration is from build.gradle of emoji-text-flow-demos/list-emoji-text-flow-local-libs-demo demo project )

1. put your .jar in root libs directory of your javafx project.
2. add/change your build.gradle to have these lines:

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    flatDir {
        dirs 'libs'
    }
}

dependencies {
    //// MUST INCLUDE THESE DEPENDENCIES START
//    implementation name: 'JavaFXEmojiTextFlow_emojitwo-1.0'
//    implementation name: 'JavaFXEmojiTextFlow_openmoji-1.0'
    implementation name: 'JavaFXEmojiTextFlow_twemoji-1.0'

    // https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.sharegov/mjson
    compile group: 'org.sharegov', name: 'mjson', version: '1.3'
    // https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.slf4j/slf4j-api
    compile group: 'org.slf4j', name: 'slf4j-api', version: '1.7.25'
    // https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.slf4j/slf4j-simple
    compile group: 'org.slf4j', name: 'slf4j-simple', version: '1.7.25'
    //// MUST INCLUDE THESE DEPENDENCIES END
    // ... your other dependencies
}

run this example with:

./gradlew exampleEmojiTextFlowWithListView

./gradlew exampleEmojiTextFlowWithListView

./gradlew exampleTypingTextConversion

There is an old example code from https://github.com/UltimateZero/EmojiOneJava In this example EmojiTextFlow is NOT used.

./gradlew oldExampleEmojiSearch

OpenMoji: https://github.com/hfg-gmuend/openmoji

Twemoji: https://github.com/twitter/twemoji

EmojiTwo: https://github.com/EmojiTwo/emojitwo/

you can add your own ...

NOTE: you need to make sure you follow same naming of your emoji .png files as in this project. (See in emoji_images there are all lowercase unicode emoji names for each emoji image file; emoji.json is used to search your files by names.)

WARNING! the name of variable should be the save as your custom emoji pack directory name! In this example both are: my_awesome_emoji_pack

gradle.ext.emojiImagesPath = 'my_awesome_emoji_pack'

./gradlew buildJar

You can create your own emoji pack with only few of emoji .png images and recompile it by yourself. It will dramatically reduce .jar file size.
