==========

[](#emoji-a11y)

Make emoji more accessible.

Install
-------

[](#install)

Add this package with composer:

```
composer require jonnybarnes/emoji-a11y

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Anywhere you have some text with emoji use the `makeEmojiAccessible` method.

```
$emoji = new Jonnybarnes\EmojiA11y\EmojiModifier();
$text = 'I’m 😀';
$emoji->makeEmojiAccessible($text); // I’m 😀

```

### Customise HTML

[](#customise-html)

You can pass in a string to the constructor that will be used in the `makeEmojiAccessible` method. We use PHP’s [sprinf](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/function.sprintf.php)function.

Three variables are passed into the function. The desired output form, then the text of the emoji, then the matched emoji character. Thankfully `sprintf` allows you to swap variable order if you need to, see example 3 in the manual.

Of course you need to provide your own CSS for presentation.
