node-emoji is a Node.js library providing friendly emoji lookups and parsing utilities, built on top of emojilib and skin-tone. It supports converting between emoji and :name: notation, searching, and checking emoji presence in strings.

Use cases

• convert :heart: shorthand to actual emoji in strings
• convert emoji back to :name: markdown notation
• search emojis by keyword
• strip emojis from user text
• check whether a string contains an emoji
• pick a random emoji programmatically

When to choose

• you need simple emoji <-> :name: conversion in a Node.js project
• you want keyword-based emoji search or lookup
• you need ESM-compatible, TypeScript-typed emoji utilities

When to avoid

• you need emoji rendering or UI components in the browser
• you need full Unicode emoji data beyond emojilib's dataset
• you're on the legacy CommonJS-only 1.x API without migration
