Support custom emojis

Allow custom emojis to be added to the list, à la Slack or Discord.

+1 from us at Glue. We're keeping a close eye on this library as a potential replacement for emoji-mart, but lack of custom emoji support is probably the biggest hurdle preventing adoption.

is this planned? it would be quite a helpful feature to have!

Maybe it will be useful. I implemented custom categories and custom emojis with minimum of changes seventh-ark@14f3d94

Usage:

<EmojiPicker
  customCategories={[
    { index: -1, label: 'Custom category 1' },
  ]}
  customEmojis={[
    {
      emoji: 'https://cdn-icons-png.flaticon.com/512/742/742751.png',
      category: -1,
      label: 'Smile custom emoji',
      // also optional tags: []
    },
  ]}
  // ...
/>

Pay attention, custom categories have negative indexes to be in front of existed categories and to prevent possible conflicts with existing emojis. It allows to add custom emoji to existed category without index recalculation.

Here's a PR that adds custom emoji support, and frequently-used support: #32

I'd love to see custom emoji support as well 🤞🏻

FWIW, we've now been using our customized Frimousse implementation (#32) in production for several weeks. Sign in at https://glue.ai to check it out. TLDR: Glue is a Slack replacement; you can sign up for free.
