We're excited to announce that #BotKit 0.2.0 will introduce custom emoji support! This feature allows your bots to express themselves with more personality and engagement.
What's included:
- Add custom emojis to your bot with
Bot.addCustomEmojis()
- Use emoji in messages with the
customEmoji()
function - Support for both local image files and remote URLs as emoji sources
- Full integration with BotKit's text formatting system
Simple example:
// Define custom emojis
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
botkit: { file: "./botkit.png", type: "image/png" },
fedify: { url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png", type: "image/png" }
});
// Use in messages
await session.publish(
text`Hello world! ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)}`
);
