A lightweight emoji picker distributed as a web component (custom element) for the modern web. It stores emoji data in IndexedDB for low memory usage, renders native emoji, supports custom emoji, and is accessible and framework-agnostic.

Use cases

• add an emoji picker to a chat app
• let users insert emoji into a comment box
• framework-agnostic emoji selector via a script tag
• memory-efficient emoji picker using IndexedDB
• support custom emoji in a picker
• accessible emoji selection with keyboard support

When to choose

• you need a small (~12.5kB) emoji picker without a framework dependency
• you want IndexedDB-based low-memory emoji data
• accessibility and dark mode matter out of the box
• you need custom emoji support and i18n

When to avoid

• your environment lacks IndexedDB and you cannot polyfill it
• you need an image-based emoji set with a heavy framework UI
• you need a non-web-component solution for legacy browsers
