EmojiRaiting

EmojiRating is an open source library to use rate using emoticons. Use UTF-8 and Unicode characters to create amazing custom combinations.

How to use it?

Import the jquery and emoji.js files to your html.

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="emoji.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="csshake.min.css"> 

Add a div, to render your emoji control.

<div id="emoji-div"></div> 

That's all you need to render your emojis.

Now, we have to use jQuery to initialize the the EmojiRating plugin.

$("#emoji-div").emoji(); 

You can invoke it from a method, or from your onLoad for javascript or onReady for jQuery

$(function() {     $("#emoji-div").emoji(); }); 

And, that's all!!!

Now, you have a control like this

Customization

Do you want to use custom emojis? Call them by their names:

var emojis = ['poop','unlike', 'like', 'star', 'inlove']; $("#emoji-div").emoji({emojis: emojis }); 

Do you want to set 1 emoticon and repeat it N times? That is possible with the count property

var emojis = ['inlove']; $("#emoji-div").emoji({ emojis: emojis, count: 8 }); 

Do you want use unicode characters? Do it!, it's possible

var emojis = ['😠','😞','😐','😊','😃', '☠']; $("#emoji-div").emoji({emojis: emojis }); 

Do you want to combine emoticions names and unicode characters? Feel free to do it!

var emojis = ['skull','happy','cloud','😊','😃', '☠']; $("#emoji-div").emoji({emojis: emojis }); 

Do you want your emojis bigger?

$("#emoji-div").emoji({ width: '50px' }); //Using pixels $("#emoji-div").emoji({ width: '50em' }); //Using em $("#emoji-div").emoji({ width: 50 }); //As number 

Do you want to set an initial value?

$("#emoji-div").emoji({ value: 4 }); 

Do you want to set color to your emojis?

1. Using the color name.

var emojis = ['heart']; $("#emoji-div").emoji({ emojis:emojis, count: 8, color: 'red' }); 

2. Using the HexColor.

var emojis = ['heart']; $("#emoji-div").emoji({ emojis: emojis, count: 8, color: '#123abc' }); 

3. Using the RGB value.

var emojis = ['heart']; $("#emoji-div").emoji({ emojis: emojis, count: 8, color: 'rgb(255, 0, 0)' }); 

Do you want to use your own resources? It's possible from external and internal resources (.png, .jpg and .svg)

var emojis = ['img/star.png', 'img/tree.svg', 'img/santa.svg', 'img/reindeer.png']; $("#emoji-div").emoji({ emojis: emojis }); 

If the images are very small, you can make them bigger with:

var emojis = ['img/star.png', 'img/tree.svg', 'img/santa.svg', 'img/reindeer.png']; $("#emoji-div").emoji({ emojis: emojis, width: 50 });  

Do you want to combine URL resources, emoji names and UTF-8 in a single rate control? It's awesomely possible and simple.

var emojis = ['img/star.png', 'img/tree.svg', 'img/santa.svg', 'img/reindeer.png', '😺', 'skull', 'happy']; $("#emoji-div").emoji({ emojis: emojis, width: 100 }); 

Do you want to disabled your emoji interaction?

$("#emoji-div").emoji({ disabled: true }); 

Do you want to remove the meta tag to exclude UTF-8?

$("#emoji-div").emoji({ UTF8: false }); 

By default, EmojiRaiting plugin add the meta tag: <meta charset="utf-8" /> to your DOM, if you want omit it, set the UTF8 key to false.

Animations

For animations, EmojiRaiting plugins uses: @elrumordelaluz - CSShake.

Add animations is very easy with:

$("#emoji-div").emoji({ width: 50, animation: 'shake-crazy' }); 

Some other options are: shake, shake-slow, shake-hard, shake-horizontal, shake-vertical, shake-rotate, shake-opacity, shake-crazy, shake-chunk

Full plugin configuration example

$("#emoji-div").emoji({     opacity: 0.5, //Opacity for no-selected emojis. [The value should be between 0 and 1 (like 0.5)]     value: 4,  //Selected value     width: '35px',  //With of each emoji.     event: 'click',  //Event "click" or "mouseover".     color: 'red', //Use color name (red, blue, black, etc.), HexColor (#abc123, #cecece, #b35c22) or RGB like rgb(255, 0, 0)     emojis: emojis  //In case you want to define your own list of emojis     count: 7, //VERY OPTIONAL - In case you want set 1 emoji in the array and display N number of them.     animation: '', //shake, shake-slow, shake-hard, shake-horizontal, shake-vertical, shake-rotate, shake-opacity, shake-crazy, shake-chunk     UTF8: true, //By default, the EmojiRaiting plugin insert the meta tag to your code.     callback: myFunctionName, //Returns event and currentValue in the change event     debug: false //Boolean value }); 

Events

Enable emoji control: $("#emoji-div").emoji("enable");

Disable emoji control: $("#emoji-div").emoji("disable");

Get emoji control value: $("#emoji-div").emoji("getvalue");

Set emoji control value: $("#emoji-div").emoji("setvalue", 5);

Callbacks

Now, you can use the callback to identify the onChange event. The callback returns:

1. The event that you're using.
2. The value after the onChange event.

$(function() {     $("#emoji-div").emoji({callback: notifyMe }); });  function notifyMe(event, value){     alert("Event: " + event + " - Current value: " + value); } 

Or, if you want to use the mouseover event:

$(function() {     $("#emoji-div").emoji({callback: notifyMe, event: 'mouseover' }); });  function notifyMe(event, value){     alert("Event: " + event + " - Current value: " + value); } 

Pre-defined emtoticons

If you want to use a predefined emoticion is enough to add into your custom emoji array, the name of the emoticion.

For example:

var emojis = ['angry','men','happy'];

Debug

If you want to debug, you have to set the debug key to true:

$(function() {     $("#emoji-div").emoji({ value: 7, debug: true, event: 'hover', animation: 'chake' }); }); 

For example, the plugin has some wrong configurations.

1. The value was set the default to 7 and the number of emojis is 5. The selected value is higher to the number of emoji elements, this produce handled error in your code.
2. The event was configured as hover instead of mouseover or click. That produces a warning.
3. The animation is wrong, chake instead of shake. That produces a warning.

Then, in your browser console, you going to get:

Works for you? Invite me for coffee

Do you want some improves?

Feel free to write issues or new actions you want to get in this pluging.

Features for version 0.7

1. Animation for maximization of the selected item.

Features for version 0.8

1. Display all the emoticons while you haven't selected anyone. Contraction once you select one (like a horizontal accordion).

Features for version 0.9

1. Emoji with custom message in a popup box in a generic position.

Features for version 1.0

1. Double state. From the dark side to the light side. Depending of the rate, emoticons should be displayed. If you have a bad rate, all the emoticons are sad, right?, but if you get a good reputation, some of them should are jealous, right?

Considerations.

This plugin is under construction, now, it accepts "id", but in a close future, we going to accept multiple initializations with classes.

For animations, EmojiRaiting plugins uses: @elrumordelaluz - CSShake.

Feel free to use this javascript library whatever you want, but, please, keep your codes open to the world.
