Make strings url-safe.
Vanilla javascript, no production dependencies.
Why not use slug? Or slugify? Well, I built this because I wanted a more transparent and powerfull implementation. If I wanted to preserve "/" and change "." to ":" I want to be able to do that, but still have the comfort of everything else being a default slugifier.
npm install larvitslugify
const { slugify, defaultCharmap } = require('larvitslugify');
slugify('i ♥ unicode'); // > i-love-unicode
slugify('unicode ♥ is ☢'); // > unicode-love-is-radioactive
// If you prefer something else then `-` as seperator
slugify('i ♥ unicode', '_'); // > i_love_unicode
// Change default charmap by passing charmap option as argument
slugify('I ♥ UNICODE', { charmap: { ...defaultCharmap, '♥': 'freaking love' } })); // > I-freaking-love-UNICODE
slugify('i <3 unicode'); // > i-love-unicode// Options is either object or whitespaceReplaceChar (sets options.whitespaceReplaceChar)
slugify('string', [{options} || 'whitespaceReplaceChar']);slugify('string', {
'whitespaceReplaceChar': '-', // Replace spaces with replacement
'charmap': {'Å': 'A', 'Ö': 'O' ... }, // A complete replacement of the charmap. All characters not in the map will be replaced by the unidentifiedReplaceChar
'multiCharmap': = {'<3': 'love', '||': 'and'}, // These will be matched before the single chars, also a complete replacement
'removeMultipleWhitespace': = true, // Will replace all multiple whitespaces with a single one
'trim': = true, // Run trim() on the string
'unidentifiedReplaceChar': = '', // If unidentified characters are found they are replaced with this string
'whitespaces': = [' ', '\t', '\xa0'] // A list of characters identified as whitespaces
'save': = undefined // Adds a character to the charmap to "save" from being changed or removed. Takes a string of one character or an array of single caracter strings
//'wordLimit': 5 // Limits the amount of words to this number (Currently not supported)
