dawranliou / emoji Goto Github PK

Suggested by user Vincent Cantin @green-coder on Clojurians slack:

I took a look at the code and it seems that you could get better performances using transducers.

Transducers remove all the cost of the laziness and also remove intermediate buffering as well. For a library, it is often desirable.

See the blog series: https://vincent.404.taipei/clojure/build-your-own-transducer-part1/

See Cljdoc page dawran6/emoji

This requires a <scm> tag in the pom.xml to fix. See How do I set SCM info for my project?

Maintaining the emoji.edn file could be hard.

For instance when unicode adds a new block of emoji, or slack introduces new aliases.

Opting for json format would be a lot easier to maintain and we get a richer information like html and categories from this gist, or description and tags from this library.

I can think of 2 solutions:

1. Download the emoji.json as a resource, like this PR.
   • Pros: total control over the resource.
   • Cons: a bit more work to release a new version.
2. Add a thin wrapper around the library - emoji-java
   • Pros: faster to release a new version, have access to some APIs from emoji-java
   • Cons: cannot release new emoji separately from emoji-java

This is my thoughts so far. Any suggestion is welcome. The solution might be a combination of the two above.

Slack allows users to add custom emojis with shortcodes. See Add custom emoji.

I feel lein is more used for library development than tool.deps as today. However, I haven't decided whether to do the switch.
