# Emojis
|
|
|
|
GitLab supports native Unicode emojis and falls back to image-based emojis selectively
|
|
when your platform does not support it.
|
|
|
|
## How to update Emojis
|
|
|
|
1. Update the `gemojione` gem
|
|
1. Update `fixtures/emojis/index.json` from [Gemojione](https://github.com/bonusly/gemojione/blob/master/config/index.json).
|
|
In the future, we could grab the file directly from the gem.
|
|
We should probably make a PR on the Gemojione project to get access to
|
|
all emojis after being parsed or just a raw path to the `json` file itself.
|
|
1. Ensure [`emoji-unicode-version`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/emoji-unicode-version)
|
|
is up to date with the latest version.
|
|
1. Run `bundle exec rake gemojione:aliases`
|
|
1. Run `bundle exec rake gemojione:digests`
|
|
1. Run `bundle exec rake gemojione:sprite`
|
|
1. Ensure new sprite sheets generated for 1x and 2x
|
|
- `app/assets/images/emoji.png`
|
|
- `app/assets/images/emoji@2x.png`
|
|
1. Update `fixtures/emojis/intents.json` with any new emoji that we would like to highlight as having positive or negative intent.
|
|
- Positive intent should be set to `0.5`.
|
|
- Neutral intent can be set to `1`. This is applied to all emoji automatically so there is no need to set this explicitly.
|
|
- Negative intent should be set to `1.5`.
|
|
1. Ensure you see new individual images copied into `app/assets/images/emoji/`
|
|
1. Ensure you can see the new emojis and their aliases in the GitLab Flavored Markdown (GLFM) Autocomplete
|
|
1. Ensure you can see the new emojis and their aliases in the award emoji menu
|
|
1. You might need to add new emoji Unicode support checks and rules for platforms
|
|
that do not support a certain emoji and we need to fallback to an image.
