CleanShot.2025-02-27.at.20.57.39.mp4

Installation

npm i react-native-emoji-popup

Usage

The API is simple, just wrap your component with the EmojiPopup component and pass a callback to the onEmojiSelected prop.

import { EmojiPopup } from 'react-native-emoji-popup';

export default function EmojiExample() {
  const [emoji, setEmoji] = useState('🫡');

  return (
    <View>
      <TextInput value={emoji} />
      <EmojiPopup onEmojiSelected={setEmoji}>
        <Text style={styles.buttonText}>Open Emoji Picker</Text>
      </EmojiPopup>
    </View>
  );
}

On Android, you can also pass a custom close button component to the closeButton prop.

import { EmojiPopup } from 'react-native-emoji-popup';

const CloseButton = ({ close }: { close: () => void }) => (
  <Pressable onPress={close}>
    <Text style={styles.buttonText}>Close ❌</Text>
  </Pressable>
);

export default function EmojiExample() {
  const [emoji, setEmoji] = useState('🫡');

  return (
    <View>
      <TextInput value={emoji} />
      <EmojiPopup
        onEmojiSelected={setEmoji}
        closeButton={CloseButton}
        style={styles.buttonText}
      >
        <Text style={styles.buttonText}>Open Emoji Picker</Text>
      </EmojiPopup>
    </View>
  );
}
