What Is Emoji Picker/Search?

A Emoji Picker/Search is a utility that allows users to find and copy emojis by searching by name or browsing through categorized collections, making it easier for developers and content creators to incorporate emojis into their work. It is particularly useful for social media managers, marketers, and writers who need to add visual flair to their text-based content. One specific problem it solves is the hassle of having to manually find and copy individual emojis from a character map or online database.

The tool's user base includes anyone who needs to use emojis in their digital communication, from casual social media users to professional designers and developers. It solves the problem of tedious emoji searching by providing an intuitive search bar where users can type in the name of the emoji they're looking for, with results filtered in real-time as they type.

What makes this tool different is its ability to categorize emojis into distinct groups, such as Smileys, Gestures & People, and Hearts & Symbols, making it easy to browse and find related emojis. Additionally, it features a collection tray where users can accumulate multiple emojis and copy them all at once, streamlining the process of composing messages or content with multiple emojis. It also allows users to search emoji by name and copy emoji to clipboard, making it a convenient emoji keyboard online and emoji collection tool.

Why Use Emoji Picker/Search?

  • Search emojis by name quickly
  • Organized by categories for easy browsing
  • One-click copy to clipboard
  • Collect multiple emojis before copying

Technical Guide

The picker includes a curated database of 250+ emojis organized into 6 categories. Each emoji has a name field used for search matching. The search function filters emojis using case-insensitive string matching against the emoji name and the emoji character itself. Clicking an emoji triggers copyToClipboard and appends it to a collected string state. The collection tray shows all accumulated emojis and provides a "Copy All" button. Category filtering is done by mapping over the emoji database and filtering each category's emoji array, then excluding empty categories.
