Emoji helper is a tool for you to escape emoji characters.

Why to escape emoji characters
------------------------------

[](#why-to-escape-emoji-characters)

For MySQL databases which use `utf8` charset, it will occur a error when you insert emoji charactes.

Suggestion
----------

[](#suggestion)

You shoud try to change database charset to `utf8mb4` first. If you can't, then use this class temporary.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

1. Require libaray in composer.

    ```
    composer require fatindeed/emoji-helper
    ```
2. With Laravel or Lumen.

    Register `Fatindeed\EmojiHelper\Http\Middleware\RemoveEmojiCharacters` to your middleware list.

    [For Laravel](https://laravel.com/docs/6.x/middleware#global-middleware)

    [For Lumen](https://lumen.laravel.com/docs/6.x/middleware#global-middleware)
3. Without Laravel.

    ```
    use Fatindeed\EmojiHelper\EmojiHelper;
    // code...
    $sqlSafeString = EmojiHelper::filter($originalString);
    ```
