A simple PHP library for handling Emoji
=======================================

[](#a-simple-php-library-for-handling-emoji)

An emoji encoder/parser for Laravel 5. This will encode and decode html to unified and vice versa. In order to handle emojies in database where you care about light weight things, performance and don't want to use blob data type.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

[PHP](https://php.net) 5.5+

To get the latest version of rvish Emoji, simply require the project using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org):

```
$ composer require rvish/emoji

```
{
    "require": {
        "rvish/emoji": "*"
    }
}
```

Once rvish Emoji is installed, you need to register the service provider. Open up `config/app.php` and

1. add the `Rvish\Emoji\EmojiServiceProvider::class` to the `providers`
2. add the `'Emoji' => Rvish\Emoji\Facades\Emoji::class` to the `aliases`.
