EmojiRegex

EmojiRejex asynchronously generates a regular expression for Emoji. The regex is generated at runtime from the latest Unicode Technical Standard #51 data. EmojiRegex is no longer maintained, consider using emoji-regex instead.

Installation

<script src="emojiregex.min.js"></script>

Usage

emojiRegex.then(regex => {
    regex.test('😂');
    // true
    regex.test('💩');
    // true
    regex.test('🇨🇦');
    // true
    regex.test('A');
    // false
    regex.test('1');
    regex.test('#');
    regex.test('*');
    // false
    // NUMBER SIGN(#), ASTERISK(*), and DIGIT ZERO..DIGIT NINE(0-9) are part of the standard,
    // however they have been excluded. To include (#), (*), (0-9) delete line 26 of emojiregex.js
 })
 // emojiRegex is a Promise that returns a RegExp object
 // Alternatively, you can use async-await syntax.
 const regex = await emojiRegex;
 regex.test('🤪');
 // true
