twitch-emoticons

Gets Twitch, BTTV, FFZ and 7TV emotes as well as parsing text to emotes!

Migrating from upstream

You must now use a Twitch user ID instead of the username to fetch user's emotes.
You can use this page to quickly grab it.

To fetch Twitch emotes you need to get a client and secret from Twitch here, it's free.
If you are only using BetterTTV, FrankerFaceZ and 7TV you don't need to provide Twitch app keys as they are independent from the Twitch API.

Install

npm install @mkody/twitch-emoticons
# or
pnpm install @mkody/twitch-emoticons
# or
yarn add @mkody/twitch-emoticons

Examples

Basic Twitch emote parsing

// With ESM import
import TwitchEmoticons from '@mkody/twitch-emoticons';
const { EmoteFetcher, EmoteParser } = TwitchEmoticons;
// ... or require()
const { EmoteFetcher, EmoteParser } = require('@mkody/twitch-emoticons');

// Your Twitch app keys
const clientId = '';
const clientSecret = '';

const fetcher = new EmoteFetcher(clientId, clientSecret);
const parser = new EmoteParser(fetcher, {
    type: 'markdown',
    match: /:(.+?):/g
});

fetcher.fetchTwitchEmotes(null).then(() => {
    const kappa = fetcher.emotes.get('Kappa').toLink();
    console.log(kappa);
    // https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/emoticons/v2/25/default/dark/1.0

    const text = 'Hello :CoolCat:!';
    const parsed = parser.parse(text);
    console.log(parsed);
    // Hello ![CoolCat](https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/emoticons/v2/58127/default/dark/1.0 "CoolCat")!
});

Bring your own @twurple/api

If you already use Twurple in your project and manage authentification (i.e. with user tokens), you can reuse it in this project by skipping the first two paramters and setting apiClient with your ApiClient object.

const fetcher = new EmoteFetcher(null, null, {
    apiClient: yourOwnTwurpleApiClientHere
});

All providers, global + channel, custom template and match pattern

const { EmoteFetcher, EmoteParser } = require('@mkody/twitch-emoticons');

// Your channel ID
const channelId = 44317909;

// Your Twitch app keys
const clientId = '';
const clientSecret = '';

const fetcher = new EmoteFetcher(clientId, clientSecret);
const parser = new EmoteParser(fetcher, {
    // Custom HTML format
    template: '<img src="{link}" alt="{name}" class="emote">',
    // Match without :colons:
    match: /(\w+)+?/g
});

Promise.all([
    // Twitch global
    fetcher.fetchTwitchEmotes(),
    // Twitch channel
    fetcher.fetchTwitchEmotes(channelId),
    // BTTV global
    fetcher.fetchBTTVEmotes(),
    // BTTV channel
    fetcher.fetchBTTVEmotes(channelId),
    // 7TV global
    fetcher.fetchSevenTVEmotes(),
    // 7TV channel
    fetcher.fetchSevenTVEmotes(channelId),
    // FFZ global
    fetcher.fetchFFZEmotes(),
    // FFZ channel
    fetcher.fetchFFZEmotes(channelId)
]).then(() =&gt; {
    const globalEmotes = parser.parse('EZ Clap way too easy LUL now for the last boss monkaS LaterSooner');
    console.log(globalEmotes);
    // <img src="https://cdn.7tv.app/emote/63071b80942ffb69e13d700f/1x.webp" alt="EZ" class="emote"> <img src="https://cdn.7tv.app/emote/62fc0a0c4a75fd54bd3520a9/1x.webp" alt="Clap" class="emote"> way too easy <img src="https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/emoticons/v2/425618/default/dark/1.0" alt="LUL" class="emote"> now for the last boss <img src="https://cdn.betterttv.net/emote/56e9f494fff3cc5c35e5287e/1x.webp" alt="monkaS" class="emote"> <img src="https://cdn.frankerfacez.com/emote/149346/1" alt="LaterSooner" class="emote">

    const channelEmotes = parser.parse('KEKW that was 3Head TeriPoint');
    console.log(channelEmotes);
    // <img src="https://cdn.betterttv.net/emote/5e9c6c187e090362f8b0b9e8/1x.webp" alt="KEKW" class="emote"> that was <img src="https://cdn.frankerfacez.com/emote/274406/1" alt="3Head" class="emote"> <img src="https://cdn.7tv.app/emote/61dc299b600369a98b38ebef/1x.webp" alt="TeriPoint" class="emote">
}).catch(err =&gt; {
    console.error('Error loading emotes...');
    console.error(err);
});

7TV formats

7TV v3 delivers emotes in either WEBP or AVIF.
By default we'll return WEBP emotes but you can override this.

const { EmoteFetcher } = require('@mkody/twitch-emoticons');
const fetcher = new EmoteFetcher();

// Fetch global emotes in AVIF (channel id has to be `null` for global)
await fetcher.fetchSevenTVEmotes(null, 'avif');

// Fetch 0kody's emotes with the package's default format (WEBP)
await fetcher.fetchSevenTVEmotes(44317909);

// ... which is currently the same as
await fetcher.fetchSevenTVEmotes(44317909, 'webp');

// Fetch Anatole's emotes in AVIF
await fetcher.fetchSevenTVEmotes(24377667, 'avif');

Export and import emote data

This can be useful to save the emotes in a cache or for offline content.
(For offline content, you'll still need to download emotes and proxy their URLs.)

const { EmoteFetcher } = require('@mkody/twitch-emoticons');
const fetcher = new EmoteFetcher();

// First fetch some emotes
await fetcher.fetchSevenTVEmotes(null, 'avif');

// Then you can use .toObject() on an `Emote` to export its data.
// Here's a map to get them all in a single array.
const emotes = fetcher.emotes.map(emote => emote.toObject());

// Later, with or without a fresh `EmoteFetcher`, you can use .fromObject() on the fetcher.
fetcher.fromObject(emotes);
