Installation

.. start installation

emoji-strings can be installed from PyPI.

To install with pip:

.. code-block:: bash

$ python -m pip install emoji-strings

.. end installation

Usage

Emoji strings (g-strings for short) are similar to Python's f-strings. However, rather than using curly braces, g-strings use colons to mark emoji in a string. For example, in the following sentence, :rocket: denotes a substitution, in this case for a 🚀 emoji:

Deploy the app :rocket:

In a Python source file, you can write this as:

.. code-block:: python

print(g"Deploy the app :rocket:")
#     ^ note the "g" prefix character

which would print::

Deploy the app 🚀

Ta da! You no longer need to remember unicode code points or use cumbersome emoji entry dialogs. To enable this magic, add the following comment to the top of your python source file::

# -*- coding: emoji_strings -*-

and add emoji-strings to your requirements.txt file.

Disclaimer

This is a joke.

While this absolutely does work I made it for fun. Someone had asked me if, since Python has f-strings, it also has g-strings? It does now.
