npm install emoji-test-groups

Examples

Getting the names of all emoji groups and subgroups

const emojiTestGroups = require ('emoji-test-groups');
for (let group of emojiTestGroups)
{
    console.log (group.name);
    for (let subgroup of group.subgroups)
    {
        console.log ("    " + subgroup.name);
    }
}

Getting the list of emoji characters of a given group and subgroup

const emojiTestGroups = require ('emoji-test-groups');
const groupName = "Symbols";
const subgroupName = "Alphanum"
for (let group of emojiTestGroups)
{
    if (group.name === groupName)
    {
       for (let subgroup of group.subgroups)
        {
            if (subgroup.name === subgroupName)
            {
                console.log (JSON.stringify (subgroup.characters));
                break;
            }
        }
        break;
    }
}
