Sounds like something for a front-end guy ;) I could have a look if you want.

Either using a sprite or maybe a more advanced emoji Picker.

That is great! Some info:

1. Emojis are currently packaged here:

https://code.onedev.io/projects/onedev-server/blob/master/server-core/src/main/java/io/onedev/server/web/component/markdown/emoji

2. All emojis are loaded from back end via this code:

https://code.onedev.io/projects/onedev-server/blob/7c9ba74e0d0395abb1cbc845bad17f507fd45e10/server-core/src/main/java/io/onedev/server/web/component/markdown/MarkdownEditor.java?position=source-261.0-280.0

3. When loaded to front end, they are rendered via below code:

https://code.onedev.io/projects/onedev-server/blob/7c9ba74e0d0395abb1cbc845bad17f507fd45e10/server-core/src/main/java/io/onedev/server/web/component/markdown/markdown.js?position=source-1024.0-1050.3

4. Below code translates an emoji code to corresponding image in markdown:

@robin what do you think of this one?: https://emoji-button.js.org/

It is an emoji picker written in plain JS with categories and a search function as well.

I am fine with it. Does it support to input emoji via text? If not, what will the emoji look like in markdown source?

There are hooks for all type of events. My plan is just to swap the emoji selection "button" and keep all the rest like it is now.

Hi,

I like the idea of integrating a specific library for emojis. I found another library that looks particularly light and easy to use, and it also has a clear documentation about unicode support:

Hey @andreaDelBene I also found emoji-picker during research.

I would try emoji button because if you have a look at emoji-picker Git activity and issue status it looks quite dead.

understood 👍 !

Hi!

I've collected in PR a couple of ideas to improve current emojis solution:pull request #14. Hope this could help .
