What are @types/speakingurl's main functionalities?

Basic Slug Generation

This feature allows you to generate a basic slug from a given string. The generated slug is URL-friendly and typically used in web development for creating readable URLs.

const speakingurl = require('speakingurl');
const slug = speakingurl('Hello World!');
console.log(slug); // Output: 'hello-world'

Custom Separator

This feature allows you to customize the separator used in the generated slug. By default, the separator is a hyphen ('-'), but you can change it to any character you prefer.

const speakingurl = require('speakingurl');
const slug = speakingurl('Hello World!', { separator: '_' });
console.log(slug); // Output: 'hello_world'

Transliteration

This feature supports transliteration, which converts non-Latin characters to their Latin equivalents. This is useful for generating slugs from strings in various languages.

const speakingurl = require('speakingurl');
const slug = speakingurl('你好世界');
console.log(slug); // Output: 'ni-hao-shi-jie'

Custom Replacements

This feature allows you to define custom replacements for specific words or characters in the input string. This can be useful for handling special cases or ensuring consistency in the generated slugs.

const speakingurl = require('speakingurl');
const slug = speakingurl('Hello World!', { custom: { 'Hello': 'Hi' } });
console.log(slug); // Output: 'hi-world'
