im using emoji api and i get emoji unicode's like this U+1F425 to be able to show emoji's in jsx. i have to replace U+1F425 to \u{1F425} . basically i just need to get 1F425 from the api.
Emoji.jsx
import React, { useEffect, useState } from "react";
import Sidebar from "../../Sidebar/Sidebar";
import "./Emoji.css";
const Emoji = ({ isAuth, setIsAuth }) => {
const [type, setType] = useState([]);
const getEmoji = () => {
fetch("https://emojihub.herokuapp.com/api/all/group_animal_bird")
.then((resp) => resp.json())
.then((dat) => (console.log(dat), setType(dat)));
};
useEffect(() => {
getEmoji();
console.log(type);
}, []);
return (
<>
{type.map((emo) => (
<>
<h6>{emo.name}</h6>
<span>{emo.unicode}</span> // This Not
<span>{"\u{1F985}"}</span> //This works
</>
))}
</>
);
};
export default Emoji;
thanks for your help!
Emojis are nothing but characters. You have to convert that code to hex and then convert that hex code to string.
const res = '1F425';
// Convert your string to hex code
const resHex = +`0x${res}`;
// Convert Hex to string
String.fromCodePoint(resHex); // You can render this directly
<span dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: emo.htmlCode[0] }}></span>
Slicing the emoji code got from API should work...
import React, { useEffect, useState } from "react";
import Sidebar from "../../Sidebar/Sidebar";
import "./Emoji.css";
const Emoji = ({ isAuth, setIsAuth }) => {
const [type, setType] = useState([]);
const getEmoji = () => {
fetch("https://emojihub.herokuapp.com/api/all/group_animal_bird")
.then((resp) => resp.json())
.then((dat) => (console.log(dat), setType(dat)));
};
useEffect(() => {
getEmoji();
console.log(type);
}, []);
return (
<>
{type.map((emo) => (
<>
<h6>{emo.name}</h6>
<span>{"\u{" + emo.unicode.slice(2) + "}"}</span> //This should work now.
</>
))}
</>
);
};
export default Emoji;
...you may try this out.
