An easy way to check if a string is an emoji.

Right now I'm using

        let cfstr = NSMutableString(string: String(c)) as CFMutableString
        var range = CFRangeMake(0, CFStringGetLength(cfstr))
        CFStringTransform(cfstr, &range, kCFStringTransformToUnicodeName, Bool(0))
        let str = cfstr as String

to check if a given character is an emoji, but having a method would be awesome:

if fetcher.isEmoji("✅") {
  // Yeah
}

If we implement https://github.com/dasmer/EmojiKit/issues/3, we'd get this for free, and could write a simple alias which returns just a boolean.

What do you think?

let fetcher = EmojiFetcher()
fetcher.query("🍕") { emojiResults in
 // use result
}

Would it make sense for emojiResults to contain one element, which is the :pizza: emoji?

Hi, I just come across your repo. It is interesting, but one thing I think you can improve, is that we don't have to hard code those emoji in the file, we just need to manipulate the ranges of Unicode scalar, like https://github.com/onmyway133/Omnia#emoji

Emoji.flag("NO") // 🇳🇴
Emoji.standardName("😁") // GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES
Emoji.search(["GRINNING"]) // ["😁", "😸"]
Emoji.list()

One day I’ll make a bot that looks through the READMEs of all Pods, looks to see if it uses “Cocoapods” and PRs “CocoaPods” :D
