Usage example

Let's take the Party Parrot Emojis as an example.

• First, clone the Git repository or retrieve an archive of it:

git clone https://github.com/jmhobbs/cultofthepartyparrot.com.git
cd cultofthepartyparrot.com

• Then you'll need your Mattermost credentials. You can either pass them to mmemoji with the arguments --url/--login-id/--password or via environment variables, for example:

export MM_URL='http://127.0.0.1:8065'
export MM_LOGIN_ID='user-1@sample.mattermost.com'
export MM_PASSWORD='user-1'

• Finally, run mmemoji to import all the parrots:

mmemoji create --no-clobber {parrots,guests}/hd/*.gif {parrots,guests}/*.gif

Note

• Here we rely on shell globbing to select all emojis from the directories.
• Specifying the hd directories first with --no-clobber ensures these emojis are created first and not overwritten by their lower quality counterpart.

• If you ever want to remove them all, simply run the following:

mmemoji delete --force {parrots,guests}/hd/*.gif {parrots,guests}/*.gif

Note

• The emoji names are extracted from the filenames the same way they have been during creation.
• --force is used to ignore the absent low quality duplicates.

Development

• You can clone this repository and install the project with uv:

uv sync

• You'll find a script to create a local Docker test instance under tests/:

./tests/scripts/setup-mattermost.py

• You can run the test suite with:

pytest

• And last thing, you can install the pre-commit hooks to help with the formatting of your code.
