# Smile

Small lib for converting emoji mappers to emoji characters, like in Slack messages:

```elixir
import Smile
convert_text("my emoji game is :ok_hand_sign:")
# > "my emoji game is 👌"
```

This is just an experiment to examine metaprogramming in Elixir, there's known limitations:
    1. Emojis in the middle of other don't work, ex.: ":woo:pile_of_poo:hoo:" would not work

If [available in Hex](https://hex.pm/docs/publish), the package can be installed as:

    ```elixir
    def deps do
      [{:smile, "~> 0.1.0"}]
    end
    ```

  2. Ensure `smile` is started before your application:
