##:sparkles::boom::star: Installing :+1::sparkles::star2:

1. Copy/symlink script as ~/.weechat/python/emojis.py
2. Copy/symlink emojis database as ~/.weechat/emojis-db.dat
3. Run /script load emojis.py in weechat
4. Marvel at your ability to use things like :horse:

Optional:

Symlink into ~/.weechat/python/autoload to load automatically. 👌

You can configure an arbitrary path for the emojis database:

/set plugins.var.python.emojis.dbfile /path/to/emojis-db.dat

Instances of an emoji's common name (:horse:) get translated into its beautiful, pictographic form! 🐴 Its as easy as that!

It may also be a good idea to comb through the database and modify the names of your most commonly-used emoji, as :reversed_hand_with_middle_finger_extended: is a bit of a mouthfull.

You can reload emojis from the database file using

/emoji reload

You can add an emoji from within weechat with

/emoji add <name> <emoji>

To display a particular emoji (without sending it to a buffer) use

/emoji show <name>

emojis.py supports tab-completion as well! 🔥🔥🙏

You may add your own to the database, format is:

:trigger:
emoji

Your trigger MUST be surrounded with :.

The format is compatible with irssi-emojis and the mirc variant from Daniel Callander (Knifa).

NOTE: The script currently doesn't work over weechat relay clients. This is because it hooks the input buffer event explicitly, and as such will only work in the curses client.

 ATTENTION: This is a preliminary port of the irssi analogue found at:
                https://github.com/mrdaemon/irssi-emojis

It may not be as featureful at the moment, but the basics work, and sanely.
