> A Laravel 5 Package for Using & Working With Emojis in your Laravel Apps

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

[](#installation)

[PHP](https://php.net) 7 and [Composer](https://getcomposer.org) are required.

To get the latest version of Laravel Emoji, simply add the following line to the require block of your `composer.json` file.

```
"unicodeveloper/laravel-emoji": "1.0.*"

```

You'll then need to run `composer install` or `composer update` to download it and have the autoloader updated.

Once Laravel Emoji is installed, you need to register the service provider. Open up `config/app.php` and add the following to the `providers` key.

- `Unicodeveloper\Emoji\EmojiServiceProvider::class`

Also, register the Facade like so:

```
'aliases' => [
    ...
    'Emoji' => Unicodeveloper\Emoji\Facades\Emoji::class,
    ...
]
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
>> Emoji::findByAlias("kissing_heart")
