Use Emojis in Go

6 Mar 2020

emoji is a minimalistic emoji package for Go. It makes emoji usage easier. You don’t have to remember emoji names. Your IDE’s autocomplete feature handles it.

Usage

package main

import (
    "fmt"

    "github.com/enescakir/emoji"
)

func main() {
    fmt.Printf("Hello %v\n", emoji.WavingHand)
    fmt.Printf("I am %v from %v\n",
        emoji.ManTechnologist,
        emoji.FlagForTurkey,
    )
    fmt.Printf("Different skin tones.\n  default: %v light: %v dark: %v\n",
        emoji.ThumbsUp,
        emoji.OkHand.Tone(emoji.Light),
        emoji.CallMeHand.Tone(emoji.Dark),
    )
    fmt.Printf("Emojis with multiple skin tones.\n  both medium: %v light and dark: %v\n",
        emoji.PeopleHoldingHands.Tone(emoji.Medium),
        emoji.PeopleHoldingHands.Tone(emoji.Light, emoji.Dark),
    )
}
