A simple application for viewing and searching all custom emoticons uploaded to a HipChat group.
Check out the Do Something Emotodex for some custom emoticon ideas. If you like the set give Do Something's Chief Emoji Architect, Dave Furnes a shout on Twitter!
To run the Emotodex locally, you will need Ruby, Ruby Gems, Bundler and Redis installed on your system. Redis is an open source key-value store that is used by the HipChat Emotodex as a cache.
If you are interested in deploying your Emotodex, Heroku is a free and easy way to host your app. Check out DoSomething.org's fork of this repository for a description of the changes needed to deploy to Heroku.
To get started:
- Visit the HipChat admin page for your group and upload some custom emoticons
- Create a HipChat API key
- Assign your API key to the "HIPCHAT_API" environment variable (add
export HIPCHAT_API=<your_api_key>to your.bash_profile) - Clone this repository,
cdinto the HipChat Rolodex directory and runbundle install rackupor to start the server!
Once you have the server running click on any emoticon to be prompted with its shortcut. You can also search for an emoticon and press enter to trigger the shortcut prompt. Note: this will only trigger once you are down to a single search result.
