[](#encode-and-decode-emoji)

### Single colon delimiter

[](#single-colon-delimiter)

```
$delimiter = new \Anisimov\Emoji\Delimiter\SingleColonDelimiter();
$emoji = new \Anisimov\Emoji\Emoji($delimiter);

$stringWithEmoji = 'some string 😉';

$result = $emoji->encode($stringWithEmoji); // some string :wink:

$stringWithEncodedEmoji = 'some string :wink:';

$result = $emoji->decode($stringWithEmoji); // some string 😉
```

### Double colon delimiter

[](#double-colon-delimiter)

```
$delimiter = new \Anisimov\Emoji\Delimiter\DoubleColonDelimiter();
$emoji = new \Anisimov\Emoji\Emoji($delimiter);

$stringWithEmoji = 'some string 😉';

$result = $emoji->encode($stringWithEmoji); // some string ::wink::

$stringWithEncodedEmoji = 'some string ::wink::';

$result = $emoji->decode($stringWithEmoji); // some string 😉
```

### Triple colon delimiter

[](#triple-colon-delimiter)

```
$delimiter = new \Anisimov\Emoji\Delimiter\TripleColonDelimiter();
$emoji = new \Anisimov\Emoji\Emoji($delimiter);

$stringWithEmoji = 'some string 😉';

$result = $emoji->encode($stringWithEmoji); // some string :::wink:::

$stringWithEncodedEmoji = 'some string :::wink:::';

$result = $emoji->decode($stringWithEmoji); // some string 😉
```

Detect emoji in string
----------------------

[](#detect-emoji-in-string)

```
$delimiter = new \Anisimov\Emoji\Delimiter\SingleColonDelimiter();
$emoji = new \Anisimov\Emoji\Emoji($delimiter);

$stringWithEmoji = 'some string 😉';

$result = $emoji->hasEmoji($stringWithEmoji); // true

$stringWithoutEmoji = 'some string';

$result = $emoji->hasEmoji($stringWithoutEmoji); // false
```

---

Remove all emoji in string
--------------------------

[](#remove-all-emoji-in-string)

```
$delimiter = new \Anisimov\Emoji\Delimiter\SingleColonDelimiter();
$emoji = new \Anisimov\Emoji\Emoji($delimiter);

$stringWithEmoji = '😉 some 😉 😉 😉 string 😉';

$result = $emoji->remove($stringWithEmoji); // 'some string'
```

---

Find all emoji in string
------------------------

[](#find-all-emoji-in-string)

```
$delimiter = new \Anisimov\Emoji\Delimiter\SingleColonDelimiter();
$emoji = new \Anisimov\Emoji\Emoji($delimiter);

$stringWithEmoji = '😀 some 😃 😄 string 😁 😆';

$result = $emoji->find($stringWithEmoji); // ['😀', '😃', '😄', '😁', '😆']
```

---

How to create custom delimiter
==============================

[](#how-to-create-custom-delimiter)

Create delimiter class that implements `\Anisimov\Emoji\Delimiter\DelimiterInterface`.

`\Anisimov\Emoji\Delimiter\DelimiterInterface::getRegexp` method should return regex to find delimiter wrapped emoji.

`\Anisimov\Emoji\Delimiter\DelimiterInterface::getDelimiter` method should return delimiter symbols

For example, `\Anisimov\Emoji\Delimiter\SingleColonDelimiter`

`\Anisimov\Emoji\Delimiter\SingleColonDelimiter::getRegexp` returns `/[\:]{1}[^(\:|\s)]{1,}[\:]{1}/`

`\Anisimov\Emoji\Delimiter\SingleColonDelimiter::getDelimiter` returns `:`
