Today Wes Bos tweeted a few fun things one can do with JavaScript and Emoji:
-
It’s possible to spread emoji units (or how are they called?) into their single parts:
[...'👨👩👧👦'] // ["👨", "", "👩", "", "👧", "", "👦"] -
Combining Emoji is also possible:
["👨", "", "👩", "", "👧"].reduce((prev, curr) => prev + curr) // "👨👩👧" -
And oh, you can even replace single emoji within emoji units, yielding a new emoji unit:
'👩👩👦'.replace(/👩/g, '👨') // "👨👨👦" -
This kind of sorcery also works with skin tone modifiers by the way:
[...'🛀🏾'] // ["🛀", "🏾"] ["🛀", "🏾"].reduce((prev, curr) => prev + curr) // "🛀🏾" '🛀🏾'.replace("🏾", "") // "🛀"
Geekfun! 🌈
