GemojiCountries

Go package to extract country names and codes from emoji in text

Install

• Make sure you have your $GOPATH set and install

$ export GOPATH=~/go # Or your gopath location
$ go get -u github.com/octohedron/gemojicountries

Overview

For example, let's say you have the string "Bonjour la france 🇫🇷 🇫🇷 c'est bon, aussi la chine 🇨🇳"

• GetAmountCountryNamesMatched will return map[china:1 france:2]
• GetAmountCountryCodesMatched will return map[cn:1 fr:2]

Note that it only matches emoji, not the country names

If you want to get the country codes and you have the country names, i.e. "russia", you can also use the util func

• GetCountryCodeByCountry will return "ru"

For getting a string with flag emoji with the flags replaced with their string format i.e. "Bonjour la 🇫🇷 "

• GetStringReplacedEmoji will return "Bonjour la france"

Example with test

package main

import (
	"testing"

	"github.com/octohedron/gemojicountries"
)

// example with test
func TestCountriesString(t *testing.T) {
	const s = "Bonjour la france 🇫🇷  🇫🇷 c'est bon aussi 🇨🇳 la chine"
	t.Logf("%v", gemojicountries.GetAmountCountryCodesMatched(s))
