Overview

Custom emojis are a fun way to bring more life and customizability to your apps. They're available in some of the most popular apps, such as Slack, Discord, and Twitch. However, iOS SDK doesn't provide straight forward support for custom emojis out of the box. Now, you're a couple code lines away from adding them to your own app with this library.

Streamoji is a custom emoji rendering library for iOS. It supports GIF , images , and unicode 🦊 . It loads from URLs or local assets. Caching is taken care of and performance is ⚡️ fast! Made with 💘 by the folks @ Stream.

Usage

1. Define Emojis

First step is to define your custom emojis in a dictionary with the key being the :shortcode: for the emoji and the EmojiSource being the, uhmmm, source of the emoji! It can be from GIF or image in a local asset, remote URL, or even a unicode character. You can also define aliases (alternate codes).

let exampleEmojis: [String: EmojiSource] = [
    "baby_yoda": .imageAsset("baby-yoda-soup.gif"),
    "banana_dance": .imageAsset("bananadance.gif"),
    "excuse_me": .imageAsset("excuseme.gif"),
    "party_parrot": .imageAsset("party_parrot.gif"),
    "this_is_fine": .imageAsset("this-is-fine-fire.gif"),
    "what": .imageAsset("what.png"),
    "homer_disappear": .imageAsset("homer-disappear.gif"),
    "let_me_in": .imageUrl("https://github.com/GetStream/Streamoji/blob/main/meta/emojis/let_me_in.gif?raw=true"),
    "smiley": .character("😄"),
    "heart": .character("❤️"),
    "banana": .alias("banana_dance"),
    "parrot": .alias("party_parrot")
]

2. Configure UITextView

After defining your emojis, you should call UITextView.configureEmojis:

textView.attributedText = NSAttributedString(string:
    """
    :banana_dance: Streamoji :party_parrot:
    :baby_yoda: This is a UITextView! :excuse_me:

    Supports:
    GIF :this_is_fine:
    Image :what:
    Local file :homer_disappear:
    Remote file :let_me_in:
    Unicode :smiley:
    """
)

textView.configureEmojis(exampleEmojis, rendering: .highestQuality)

You can also tweak a couple (for now) rendering options: quality and scale in relation to the surrounding text.

Example

To run the example project, clone the repo, and run pod install from the Example directory first.

Installation

Streamoji is available through CocoaPods. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:

Blank Images problem fix when using Streamoji in TableViewCell

Hi there,

First of all, thanks for the great library as it is one of the life savers for iOS devs, at least for me 👏 👏

My task was binding some text with custom emoticons to UITextView which is inside UITableViewCell. Thanks to Stremoji, it was showing the emoticons. However when I tested it like scrolling the UITableView, I have noticed that library is a bit buggy as it shows blank images when the invisible cells reappear. I have checked the issues and seen one open issue similar to the my problem (https://github.com/GetStream/Streamoji/issues/4).

I have decided the fork the library and find a solution on my own. After digging a lot, I find a solution by giving a delay value for the addEmojisIfNeeded function. The operation was already async but with no delay. Giving a delay value fixed the situation for my side. I have duplicated the functions ..WithDelay postfix and new param delay : Double?

People who face the same problem can use the funcs that I have created. I could have added delay param intto your funcs but didn't want to break your example.

I posted a demo with two versions. The left one on the video uses configureEmojis, the right one on the video uses configureEmojisWithDelay of 0.5

I also provided my example repo as shown below: https://github.com/mehmetdelikaya/EmojiExample
