Last release:

A JavaScript/Node package that provides a drop-in, smaller regular-expression generator for matching emoji-only symbols. It is useful when you need an emoji-matching regex that follows the same API and passes the same emoji tests as `emoji-regex`, while using the Unicode version supported by your JavaScript environment instead of hard-coded code points.

Recent updates

  • v2.0.1

    v2.0.1 refines the core emoji-matching regular expression. The change specifically alters how regional indicator (RI) pairs are handled when they are involved in ZWJ-related emoji sequences.

    Breaking
  • v2.0.0

    v2.0.0 focuses on improving emoji compatibility by expanding support for many more underqualified emoji, aligning behavior more closely with emoji-regex and real-world usage. The release also reduces the package size further, shrinking output to roughly 0.2 kB from about 0.3 kB.
