A GitHub action to ensure that all PRs start with an emoji! If a PR is opened without an emoji, this bot will select an emoji and add it to the beginning of the title. If there are many emojis, it will remove all but the first one. This ensures a clean commit history upon merging.

There are two ways that the bot will choose an emoji.

1. Emoji Mapping - based on words that appear in the PR title, it will choose an emoji. For example, if the words 'design' or 'style' appear in the PR title, it will randomly select from the emojis ["🎨", "🧑‍🎨", "🖌️"].

2. Random Emoji – will take a random emoji from a list.

By default, the bot will choose to pick a random emoji from the default generated list. It is collected from official Unicode Emoji 13.0. A python script will read all fully-qualified emojis from the official test file, and compile them into emojis/emojis.json. To run, python emojis/emoji_parse.py. Inside the file there is a list of excluded categories which will not include the emojis to the output file.

Emoji Mapping

To enable emoji mapping, set the parameter use-emoji-map to

use-emoji-map: true

This will enable using emoji mapping with the default map. To set a custom mapping, add the emoji-map parameter with a URL to a JSON file with the format

{
  "mapping": {
    "word": [emojis for the word]
    ...
  }
}

For example

with:
  emoji-map: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pineapplelol/emojify-pr-title/master/emojis/emoji_mapping.json'

This mapping uses fuzzy emoji mapping, with a tolerance of 3 characters (e.g. "test ~= "testing") as opposed to being a strict substring of the title. To disable fuzzy matching and require strict word matching

use-fuzzy: false

Custom Emoji List

A custom random emoji list can be provided by adding the emoji-list parameter with a URL to a JSON file with the format

{"emojis": [...]}

For example

with:
  emoji-list: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pineapplelol/emojify-pr-title/master/emojis/emojis.json'

Emoji Blocklist

There is an option for a blocklist for emojis not allowed in the title and will not be selected. If these emojis already exist in the title, it will be removed.

A custom random emoji list can be provided by adding the blocklist parameter with a URL to a JSON file with the format

{"blocklist": [...]}

Spacing

Enforcing a single space after the emoji before the text is default. To disable,

require-spacing: false
