How does Venmo's emoji auto-complete feature work, technically?

Venmo rolled out their emoji auto-complete feature pretty much a week after coming up with it over a pizza dinner.

How would one implement this with Python? Are there any libraries or packages that would make this an easy implementation?

I don't know the exact author implementation in the Medium article you mentioned, but a naive implementation would look like this:

  • tag each of the emoji with what they can represent.

  • create a map from these word to the corresponding emoji

  • during auto-complete search the recommended words in your map and recommend that emoji instead of the word.
