The Swift Package Manager is a tool for automating the distribution of Swift code and is integrated into the swift compiler. It’s integrated with the Swift build system to automate the process of downloading, compiling, and linking dependencies.

Once you have your Swift package set up, adding as a dependency is as easy as adding it to the dependencies value of your Package.swift.

dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/htmlprogrammist/EmojiPicker", .upToNextMajor(from: "3.0.0"))
]

The CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. For usage and installation instructions, visit their website. To integrate EmojiPicker into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

pod 'EmojiPicker', :git => 'https://github.com/htmlprogrammist/EmojiPicker'

If you prefer not to use any of dependency managers, you can integrate manually. Put Sources/EmojiPicker folder in your Xcode project. Make sure to enable Copy items if needed and Create groups.

Create UIButton and add selector as action:

@objc private func openEmojiPickerModule(sender: UIButton) {
    let viewController = EmojiPickerViewController()
    viewController.delegate = self
    viewController.sourceView = sender
    present(viewController, animated: true)
}

And then recieve emoji in the delegate method:

extension ViewController: EmojiPickerDelegate {
    func didGetEmoji(emoji: String) {
        emojiButton.setTitle(emoji, for: .normal)
    }
}

Delegate for EmojiPicker to provide chosen emoji.

viewController.delegate = self

A view containing the anchor rectangle for the popover. You can create any UIView instances and set them as the sender.

viewController.sourceView = sender

Also, there is way more settings for configuration:

Color for the selected emoji category. The default value of this property is .systemBlue.

viewController.selectedEmojiCategoryTintColor = .systemRed

The direction of the arrow for EmojiPicker. The default value of this property is .up.

viewController.arrowDirection = .up

Inset from the sourceView border. The default value of this property is 0.
