Installation

Swift Package Manager

The Swift Package Manager is a tool for automating the distribution of Swift code and is integrated into the swift compiler. It’s integrated with the Swift build system to automate the process of downloading, compiling, and linking dependencies.

In Xcode navigate to File → Swift Packages → Add Package Dependency. Use this URL to add the dependency:

‌https://github.com/htmlprogrammist/EmojiPicker

Once you have your Swift package set up, adding as a dependency is as easy as adding it to the dependencies value of your Package.swift.

dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/htmlprogrammist/EmojiPicker", .upToNextMajor(from: "3.0.0"))
]

CocoaPods

The CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. For usage and installation instructions, visit their website. To integrate EmojiPicker into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

pod 'EmojiPicker', :git => 'https://github.com/htmlprogrammist/EmojiPicker'

Manually

If you prefer not to use any of dependency managers, you can integrate manually. Put Sources/EmojiPicker folder in your Xcode project. Make sure to enable Copy items if needed and Create groups.

Quick Start

Create UIButton and add selector as action:

@objc private func openEmojiPickerModule(sender: UIButton) {
    let viewController = EmojiPickerViewController()
    viewController.delegate = self
    viewController.sourceView = sender
    present(viewController, animated: true)
}

And then recieve emoji in the delegate method:

extension ViewController: EmojiPickerDelegate {
    func didGetEmoji(emoji: String) {
        emojiButton.setTitle(emoji, for: .normal)
    }
}

Usage

Delegate
