A JavaScript dataset that maps emoji characters to lists of human-readable keywords, making emoji searchable in applications. It is distributed via npm and is designed to be combined with unicode-emoji-json, which provides the accompanying emoji metadata.

Use cases

• find an emoji character by typing a keyword like 'happy' or 'grin'
• build an emoji picker with a search box for a web or desktop app
• get the English keywords associated with a given emoji
• add emoji search to a chat or messaging application
• power fuzzy emoji lookup from user-typed queries in JavaScript

When to choose

• You need keyword data to make emoji searchable or to build an emoji picker in a JavaScript project
• You want to map free-text user queries to matching emoji characters
• You are pairing emoji keywords with metadata from unicode-emoji-json

When to avoid

• You need emoji metadata such as grouping, ordering, or skin tone support flags - use unicode-emoji-json instead
• You need emoji rendering, image assets, or conversion between emoji and shortcodes rather than keyword data
• You are not working in a JavaScript or JSON-consumable environment
