Detecting Emoji Type

[jalcine]

Side-note: This project just saved me hours of porting TwitterText into Elixir; thank you!

I've looked at the regex and it looks like handling emoji type (:emoji:) is pretty feasible. How open are you to a PR for that? It could be up to the caller to do whatever with the resulting text - so no need to do actual emoji lookups (and allow for users to define 'custom' emoji).

Hi @jalcine, I am pleased to hear you were able to save some time!

I am always open to a PR, the one thing I will note is this project was a learning tool for me originally and maybe doesn't carry out it's function in the most efficient way 🙂. It uses pattern matching whilst recursing over a string instead of regex but what you look to achieve is totally possible I believe.

Please feel free to put in a PR and I will be more than happy to look over it.
