EditorEmojiMenu

GitHub
An emoji picker menu that displays emoji suggestions when typing the : character in the editor.

Usage

The EditorEmojiMenu component is used to display a menu of emoji suggestions when typing the : character in the editor. Emojis are inserted as text characters or custom nodes depending on the extension configuration. It must be used inside an Editor component's default slot to have access to the editor instance.

Type : followed by an emoji name to search and insert emojis.

<script setup lang="ts">
import type { EditorEmojiMenuItem } from '@nuxt/ui'
import { Emoji, gitHubEmojis } from '@tiptap/extension-emoji'

const value = ref(`# Emoji Menu

Type : to insert emojis and select from the list of available emojis.`)

const items: EditorEmojiMenuItem[] = gitHubEmojis.filter(
  (emoji) => !emoji.name.startsWith('regional_indicator_')
)

// SSR-safe function to append menus to body (avoids z-index issues in docs)
const appendToBody = false ? () => document.body : undefined
</script>

<template>
  <UEditor
    v-slot="{ editor }"
    v-model="value"
    :extensions="[Emoji]"
    content-type="markdown"
    placeholder="Type : to add emojis..."
    class="w-full min-h-21"
  >
    <UEditorEmojiMenu :editor="editor" :items="items" :append-to="appendToBody" />
  </UEditor>
</template>
The menu filters items as you type and supports keyboard navigation (arrow keys, enter to select, escape to close).
Learn more about the Emoji extension in the TipTap documentation.
