EmojiTranslate

EmojiTranslate Ruby gem allows you to 📚 translate text to ✨ emoji ✨

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'emoji_translate'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install emoji_translate

Require the gem and use EmojiTranslate#translate(text) to replace words with emojis. Make sure your development environment supports Unicode.

require 'emoji_translate'

EmojiTranslate.translate "A quick brown fox jumped over a lazy dog"
=> "🅰️ quick 🐴 fox jumped over 🅰️ lazy 🐶"

All punctuation and line breaks are preserved in the result string.

EmojiTranslate.translate "Hello, world!"
=> "👋, 🌎!"

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/vpukhanov/emoji_translate.

I am new to Ruby, so any help with making the code more idiomatic (and cleaning it up in general) would be of great help and really appreciated!
