ng-emoji-button-picker

Angular Emoji Button Picker

Important / Credits

This package is based on https://github.com/lbertenasco/ng-emoji-picker Since that repository uses only input fields, I have rewritten it to use a button

Install through npm or yarn

npm install ng-emoji-button-picker --save # Angular >= 6 
# same with yarn 
yarn add ng-emoji-button-picker

In your module file for your angular project.

import {EmojiPickerModule} from 'ng-emoji-button-picker';
 
@NgModule({
