Slugg

Make strings url-safe.

• Comprehensive tests
• No dependencies
• Not in coffee-script (lol)
• Coerces foreign symbols to their english equivalent
• Doesn't try to do anything fancy with symbols (just removes them)
• Works in browser (window.slugg) and AMD/CommonJS-flavoured module loaders

npm install slugg

Usage:

slug(string, [separator])

var slug = require('slugg')

slug('My fantastic blog post')
//-> 'my-fantastic-blog-post'

slug('Today I found £5')
//-> 'today-i-found-5'

slug('I ♥ you')
//-> 'i-you'

If you want a separator other than '-', pass it in as the second argument:

slug('Kevin Spacey', ' ')
//-> 'kevin spacey'

If you want to strip some characters rather than replace them with a separator, pass a regex as the last option that will match the chars you want to replace, eg:

slug('Mum\'s cooking', /'/g)
//-> 'mums-cooking'

Remember to use the g flag if you want all the matches stripped (not just the first).
