Prepopulated emoji selection

[Meyssam120]

I have a question:
In your SwiftUI example, you show the emoji selection being nil initially. Is it possible to assign an emoji programatically or in other words to provide a default selection? If yes, which init do I use?

@Meyssam120 yes its possible to have a default emoji selected, but I would point out the library does not seem to identify the "currently selected" emoji.

I added a PR to here to Codable so I could save off what a user selects and use it for the future. I used an indirect binding to allow my viewModel to represent this as non-optional.

First, I created default emoji(s) (My app has two states I wanted default emoji's for):

extension Emoji {
    static var defaultUnselected: Emoji { Emoji(emoji: "☹️", description: "", category: .SmileysAndEmotion, aliases: [], tags: [], supportsSkinTones: false, iOSVersion: "") }
    
    static var defaultSelected: Emoji { Emoji(emoji: "🙂", description: "", category: .SmileysAndEmotion, aliases: [], tags: [], supportsSkinTones: false, iOSVersion: "") }
}

Next, I used this SwiftUI initializer.

view.emojiPicker(isPresented: $emojiPickerOne, 
                 selectedEmoji: .init(get: { settings.unselectedEmoji }, 
                                      set: { value in if let value { settings.unselectedEmoji = value } }), 
                 configuration: ElegantConfiguration(showRandom: false, 
                                                     showReset: false, 
                                                     showClose: true))

selectedEmoji is populated with a binding that I could then unwrap the optional value once set, and assign it to my viewModel.
