Swiftpack.co - WouterWisse/text-to-emoji as Swift Package

text-to-🤩
🤷‍♂️ Not sure why you'd need this.

Installation

Xcode → File → Add packages... → enter url → https://github.com/WouterWisse/text-to-emoji

How to use

Get an emoji

let emoji = await TextToEmoji.emoji(for: "tomato") // 🍅

This is an async method that will throw the error noMatchFound if no emoji has been matched with the given text.

Get an emoji for a preferred category

let shrimp = TextToEmoji.emoji(for: "shrimp", preferredCategory: .foodAndDrink) // 🍤

let shrimp = TextToEmoji.emoji(for: "shrimp", preferredCategory: .animalsAndNature) // 🦐

With preferredCategory a certain emoji category can be given a higher priority. This can be very useful if the context of the search is known. For example, when looking for the word shrimp, two matching emoji's could be: 🦐 and 🍤.
By passing .foodAndDrink as the preferredCategory, the first match will be 🍤. Passing .animalsAndNature would result in 🦐.

See EmojiCategory.swift for all categories.
