Emojis have become an essential part of modern communication, adding a touch of emotion and fun to our messages and applications. In this article, we will explore how to create an Emoji Picker using ReactJS, allowing users to easily select and insert emojis into their text inputs or text areas. React is a free and open-source front-end JavaScript library for building user interfaces or UI components. It is maintained by Facebook and a community of individual developers and companies.
Approach: To create our Spreadsheet we are going to use the emoji-picker-react package because it is powerful, lightweight, and fully customizable. After that, we will add an emoji picker on our homepage using the installed package.
Create ReactJs Application: You can create a new ReactJs project using the below command:
npx create-react-app gfg

( <span>Your Emoji: {chosenEmoji.emoji}</span> ) : ( <span>No Emoji</span> )} <Picker onEmojiClick={onEmojiClick} /> </div> );}; |
