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
- Update the
gemojionegem - Update
fixtures/emojis/index.jsonfrom Gemojione. 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 thejsonfile itself. - Ensure
emoji-unicode-versionis up to date with the latest version. - Run
bundle exec rake gemojione:aliases - Run
bundle exec rake gemojione:digests - Run
bundle exec rake gemojione:sprite - Ensure new sprite sheets generated for 1x and 2x

- Update
fixtures/emojis/intents.jsonwith 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.
- Positive intent should be set to
- Ensure you see new individual images copied into
app/assets/images/emoji/ - Ensure you can see the new emojis and their aliases in the GitLab Flavored Markdown (GLFM) Autocomplete
- Ensure you can see the new emojis and their aliases in the emoji reactions menu
- 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.
