slugify
var slugify = require('slugify')
slugify('some string') // some-string
// if you prefer something other than '-' as separator
slugify('some string', '_') // some_string
- Vanilla ES5 JavaScript
- No dependencies
- Coerces foreign symbols to their english equivalent (check out the
charMap
in index.js for more details) - Works in the browser (window.slugify) and AMD/CommonJS-flavored module loaders
Options
slugify('some string', {
replacement: '-', // replace spaces with replacement
remove: null, // regex to remove characters
lower: true // result in lower case
})
For example to remove *+~.()'"!:@
from the result slug, you can use slugify('..', {remove: /[$*_+~.()'"!\-:@]/g})
Extend
Out of the box slugify
comes with support for a handfull of Unicode symbols. For example the ☢
(radioactive) symbol is not defined in the charMap
object in index.js and therefore it will be stripped by default:
slugify('unicode ♥ is ☢') // unicode-love-is
However you can extend the supported symbols, or override the existing ones with your own:
slugify.extend({'☢': 'radioactive'})
slugify('unicode ♥ is ☢') // unicode-love-is-radioactive
Keep in mind that the extend
method extends/overrides the default charMap
for the entire process. In case you need a fresh instance of the slugify's charMap
object you have to clean up the module cache first:
delete require.cache[require.resolve('slugify')]
var slugify = require('slugify')
Contribute
- Add chars to
charmap.json
- Run tests
npm test
- The tests will build the charmap in
index.js
and will sort thecharmap.json
- Commit all modified files
This module was originally a vanilla javascript port of node-slug.
Note that the original slug module has been ported to vanilla javascript too.
One major difference between the two modules is thatslugify
does not depend on the external unicode module.
