Release often about emojilib HOT 5 CLOSED

@muan I got a build process ready, it also includes translation support.

It is written yet in ES5, makes it low on dependencies but the code is pretty much bloated.

Should I push the PR like this or upgrade to ES6+Babel before I do it?

Personally I would love to use modern JS, I am just not sure if this exceeds the scope of this project.

Opinions?

I've been using this lib for a json list of emojis, but it'd be good if it was always up to date with latest Unicode releases. I've been researching the Unicode public data, so I might be able to help out with this.

I'm guessing by streamline the process, you mean actually build a process to keep this package up to date so that we can get new Unicode emojis imported automatically.

I'll see if I can rewrite build.js to grab the latest EmojiSources and build the JSON file from there.

Ah sorry, I meant that I should cut a release and publish them on NPM more often. The last release was in January. :/

I don't think this library should be up to date with the latest Unicode releases as the emojis won't be supported by operating systems til a much later date. 🤔

@muan I'd be happy to help maintain this repo.

Here's an article I wrote on automated publishing to npm: zeke.sikelianos.com/npm-and-github-automation-with-heroku/ -- that approach might be overkill for emojilib though as the updates are not very frequent.

@muan i am pretty sure https://github.com/semantic-release/semantic-release can help u. The setup can be a little bit tricky, but I am willing to help if needed :)
