A Flutter package that provides an Emoji picker widget with 1500+ emojis in 8 categories.

emoji_picker_flutter

Yet another Emoji Picker for Flutter 🤩

Note: This package is based on emoji_picker which has been deprecated and not maintained anymore. Therefore I decided to create a modernized version of it and fixing existing issues.

Key features

• Lightweight Package
• Faster Loading
• Null-safety
• Completely customizable
• Material Design and Cupertino mode
• Emojis that cannot be displayed are filtered out (Android Only)
• Optional recently used emoji tab

Getting Started

EmojiPicker(
    onEmojiSelected: (category, emoji) {
        // Do something when emoji is tapped
    },
    onBackspacePressed: () {
        // Backspace-Button tapped logic
        // Remove this line to also remove the button in the UI
    },
    config: Config(
        columns: 7,
        emojiSizeMax: 32 * (Platform.isIOS ? 1.30 : 1.0), // Issue: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/28894
        verticalSpacing: 0,
        horizontalSpacing: 0,
        initCategory: Category.RECENT,
        bgColor: Color(0xFFF2F2F2),
        indicatorColor: Colors.blue,
        iconColor: Colors.grey,
        iconColorSelected: Colors.blue,
        progressIndicatorColor: Colors.blue,
        showRecentsTab: true,
        recentsLimit: 28,
        noRecentsText: "No Recents",
        noRecentsStyle:
            const TextStyle(fontSize: 20, color: Colors.black26),
        tabIndicatorAnimDuration: kTabScrollDuration,    
        categoryIcons: const CategoryIcons(),
        buttonMode: ButtonMode.MATERIAL
    ),
)

See the demo for more detailed sample project.

Backspace-Button

You can add an Backspace-Button to the end category list by adding the callback method onBackspacePressed: () { } to the EmojiPicker-Widget. This will make it easier for your user to remove an added Emoji without showing the keyboard. Check out the example for more details about usage.

Custom view

The appearance is completely customizable by setting customWidget property. If properties in Config are not enough you can inherit from EmojiPickerBuilder (recommended but not necessary) to make further adjustments.

class CustomView extends EmojiPickerBuilder {
    CustomView(Config config, EmojiViewState state) : super(config, state);

    @override
    _CustomViewState createState() => _CustomViewState();
}

class _CustomViewState extends State<CustomView> {
    @override
    Widget build(BuildContext context) {
        // TODO: implement build
        // Access widget.config and widget.state
        return Container();
    }
}

EmojiPicker(
    onEmojiSelected: (category, emoji) { /* ...*/ },
    config: Config( /* ...*/ ),
    customWidget: (config, state) => CustomView(config, state),
)
