# [slug](https://github.com/dodo/node-slug)

slugifies every string, even when it contains unicode!

Make strings url-safe.

- respecting [RFC 3986](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986)

- Comprehensive tests

- No dependencies (except the unicode table)

- Not in coffee-script (except the tests lol)

- Coerces foreign symbols to their english equivalent

- Works in browser (window.slug) and AMD/CommonJS-flavoured module loaders (except the unicode symbols unless you use browserify but who wants to download a ~2mb js file, right?)

```

npm install slug

```

```

bower install slug

```

## example

```javascript

var slug = require('slug')

var print = console.log.bind(console, '>')

print(slug('i ♥ unicode'))

// > i-love-unicode

print(slug('unicode ♥ is ☢')) // yes!

// > unicode-love-is-radioactive

print(slug('i ♥ unicode', '_')) // If you prefer something else then `-` as seperator

// > i_love_unicode

slug.charmap['♥'] = 'freaking love' // change default charmap or use option {charmap:{…}} as 2. argument

print(slug('I ♥ UNICODE'))

// > I-freaking-love-UNICODE

print(slug('☏-Number', {lower: true})) // If you prefer lower case

// > telephone-number

print(slug('i <3 unicode'))

// > i-love-unicode

```

## options

```javascript

// options is either object or replacement (sets options.replacement)

slug('string', [{options} || 'replacement']);

```

```javascript

slug.defaults.mode ='pretty';

slug.defaults.modes['rfc3986'] = {

    replacement: '-',      // replace spaces with replacement

    symbols: true,         // replace unicode symbols or not

    remove: null,          // (optional) regex to remove characters

    lower: true,           // result in lower case

    charmap: slug.charmap, // replace special characters

    multicharmap: slug.multicharmap // replace multi-characters

};

slug.defaults.modes['pretty'] = {

    replacement: '-',

    symbols: true,

    remove: /[.]/g,

    lower: false,

    charmap: slug.charmap,

    multicharmap: slug.multicharmap

};

```

## browser

When using browserify you might want to remove the symbols table from your bundle by using `--ignore` similar to this:

```bash

# generates a standalone slug browser bundle:

browserify slug.js --ignore unicode/category/So -s slug > slug-browser.js

```
