Frimousse

Installation

npm i frimousse

If you are using shadcn/ui, you can also install it as a pre-built component via the shadcn CLI.

npx shadcn@latest add https://frimousse.liveblocks.io/r/emoji-picker

Learn more in the shadcn/ui section.

Usage

Import the EmojiPicker parts and create your own component by composing them.

import { EmojiPicker } from "frimousse";

export function MyEmojiPicker() {
  return (
    
      
      
        Loading…
        No emoji found.
        
      
    
  );
}

Apart from a few sizing and overflow defaults, the parts don’t have any styles out-of-the-box. Being composable, you can bring your own styles and apply them however you want: Tailwind CSS, CSS-in-JS, vanilla CSS via inline styles, classes, or by targeting the [frimousse-*] attributes present on each part.

You might want to use it in a popover rather than on its own. Frimousse only provides the emoji picker itself so if you don’t have a popover component in your app yet, there are several libraries available: Radix UI, Base UI, Headless UI, and React Aria, to name a few.

shadcn/ui

If you are using shadcn/ui, you can install a pre-built version which integrates with the existing shadcn/ui variables via the shadcn CLI.

npx shadcn@latest add https://frimousse.liveblocks.io/r/emoji-picker

It can be composed and combined with other shadcn/ui components like Popover.
