emoji Support

...This was something that struggle me for a while....
I love to give some irony and humor to my messages and scripts (log included)... Emoji was a good way but unfortunately there are few issues on this
UNTIL NOW
I'm quite pround to share with you my lua emoji library for Domoticz and LUA that cam be used in dzvents as well
due to a strong limitatin in using unicode in LUA (or at least I did not able to find a way to encode it), the hard and boaring part is to include all emoji into the module... these are a few just for testing, I will fill them up as soon as I will need them
The main deal is this:
create a table with the names as index and the copy/paste of the emoji as a value
then a function that retreive and return the unicode emoji as a string for you use....
(I encounter few issues with copy/paste... you'd better do this on the same hardware there domoticz is running)
Install
rename the attached file with extension .lua and place into domoticz/scripts/lua)
Usage
at the top of your script include these 2 lines:
in your code you can use these functions:
- emoji.getEmo(name)
use this to retreive the emojy by calling its name
example in dzVents
- emoji.dumpEmo()
print the available library with their names
will return:
