Description

Hi,

After experimenting with the javascript integration, I noticed that markdown-it-emoji is the only option to make emoticons available in an unfriendly way for users.

My request is to add the option to display an emoticon picker next to the send button as visible down bellow.

The way to select it would be by via a boolean as the hideUploadButton option in the renderWebChat method:

window.WebChat.renderWebChat({
    ...
    hideEmoticonPicker: true,
    ...
}, document.getElementById('webchat'));

Regards,

Research direction

Start at the renderWebChat option handling and the send-button UI, then review the existing markdown-it-emoji integration. Done means a boolean option controls whether an emoticon picker appears next to the send button and users can select an emoticon through it.
