# Use custom emojis with GraphQL **(FREE)**
|
|
|
|
> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/37911) in GitLab 13.6 [with a flag](../../administration/feature_flags.md) named `custom_emoji`. Disabled by default.
|
|
> - Enabled on GitLab.com in GitLab 14.0.
|
|
|
|
FLAG:
|
|
On self-managed GitLab, by default this feature is not available. To make it available, ask an administrator to [enable the feature flag](../../administration/feature_flags.md) named `custom_emoji`.
|
|
On GitLab.com, this feature is available.
|
|
This feature is ready for production use.
|
|
|
|
To use custom emojis in comments and descriptions, you can add them to a group using the GraphQL API.
|
|
|
|
Parameters:
|
|
|
|
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
|
|
| :----------- | :------------- | :--------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
| `group_path` | integer/string | **{check-circle}** Yes | ID or [URL-encoded path of the group](../rest/index.md#namespaced-path-encoding) |
|
|
| `name` | string | **{check-circle}** Yes | Name of the custom emoji. |
|
|
| `file` | string | **{check-circle}** Yes | URL of the custom emoji image. |
|
|
|
|
## Create a custom emoji
|
|
|
|
```graphql
|
|
mutation CreateCustomEmoji($groupPath: ID!) {
|
|
createCustomEmoji(input: {groupPath: $groupPath, name: "party-parrot", url: "https://cultofthepartyparrot.com/parrots/hd/parrot.gif"}) {
|
|
clientMutationId
|
|
customEmoji {
|
|
name
|
|
}
|
|
errors
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After adding a custom emoji to the group, members can use it in the same way as other emojis in the comments.
|
|
|
|
## Get custom emoji for a group
|
|
|
|
```graphql
|
|
query GetCustomEmoji($groupPath: ID!) {
|
|
group(fullPath: $groupPath) {
|
|
id
|
|
customEmoji {
|
|
nodes {
|
|
name
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Set up the GraphiQL explorer
|
|
|
|
This procedure presents a substantive example that you can copy and paste into GraphiQL
|
|
explorer. GraphiQL explorer is available for:
|
|
|
|
- GitLab.com users at [https://gitlab.com/-/graphql-explorer](https://gitlab.com/-/graphql-explorer).
|
|
- Self-managed users at `https://gitlab.example.com/-/graphql-explorer`.
|
|
|
|
1. Copy the following code excerpt:
|
|
|
|
```graphql
|
|
query GetCustomEmoji {
|
|
group(fullPath: "gitlab-org") {
|
|
id
|
|
customEmoji {
|
|
nodes {
|
|
name,
|
|
url
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Open the [GraphiQL explorer tool](https://gitlab.com/-/graphql-explorer).
|
|
1. Paste the `query` listed above into the left window of your GraphiQL explorer tool.
