Jekyll Mentioji

If your site uses both jekyll-mentions and jemoji, then using jekyll-mentioji instead, is going to improve your build times.

Internally, this plugin combines the code & logic behind the above two plugins and adapts the associated code in html-pipeline, which the above two plugins wrap around, to emerge as the faster implementation in comparison to using the two plugins together in a site.

Replace the two plugins in your Gemfile and/or _config.yml with this plugin:

# Gemfile

group :jekyll_plugins do
-   gem "jekyll-mentions"
-   gem "jemoji"
+   gem "jekyll-mentioji"
end

bundle install

# _config.yml

plugins:
-   - jekyll-mentions
-   - jemoji
+   - jekyll-mentioji

• This plugin aims to be a zero-config replacement for the two plugins and therefore should be compatible with existing configuration for the two plugins. jekyll-mentioji will read both existing jekyll-mentions: and emoji: settings in your config file.
• A few diversions from the two official plugins:
  • @mention can currently include the underscore (_) along with alphanumeric characters and hyphen (-)
  • @mention will not be rendered within <script></script>
  • configuration for emoji assets-path mirror that of jekyll-mentions: the value can be both a string or a dictionary

Disclaimer: The no.s above are averages of 3 restarted jobs on two separate Travis CI build-commits and therefore cannot be considered as solid evidence. However, tests run locally do show an improvement of approx. 2s with jekyll-mentioji over the combo.
