Allow picker to output unicode instead of text
aendra-rininsland opened this issue · comments
Hi!
I've written a validator for a project of mine that ensures the only text in a box is emoji. See aendrew/angular-emoji-directive.
I was wondering — is there a way to make the text box output the unicode character instead of the text approximation of that? I enjoy living dangerously and am wanting to save a whole bunch of astral code page unicode characters to my database. 😄
Hi, @Aendrew
I'm not quite sure that understood your question correctly. Are you just wondering how to do it or do you want that feature would be implemented in the picker?
I'm wondering whether there's an option for it or not, and if there's not, suggesting it as a feature request. Mobile users quite frequently use the unicode emoji because they have pickers built into their OS; by allowing the unicode version to be output, you can use angular-emoji-picker as a way of bridging that experience between mobile and desktop.
Ok, I could try to add this feature, but I don't when exactly.
If interested, I've modified my fork to allow this; see: https://github.com/aendrew/angular-emoji-picker/tree/return_unicode
It's pretty messy; could clean it up into a PR if interested!
It seems great. But to merge your code into master I think I need to change whole conception of the picker =) Give me a little time to think about it.
@terranisu I got bored so I rewrote my changes and did a PR. Now it outputs as unicode only if the attribute "output" is set to "unicode".
I've added opportunity to output unicode
@terranisu Cool! Thanks!
