Expand description
A utility macro for flexible slug genereation that handles unicode.
The slugify!
macro implements a flexible slug generator, allowing for stop words, custom separator
and maximum length options. The macro provides both a simple interface with sane default parameters
but also allows the parameters to be overriden when needed.
Features:
- Unicode strings support (phonetic conversion).
- Support for custom slug separator.
- Stop words filtering.
- Slug maximum length support.
§Usage
This crate is on crates.io and can be used by adding slugify
to the dependencies in your project’s
Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
slugify = "0.1.0"
and this to your crate root:
ⓘ
#[macro_use] extern crate slugify;
use slugify::slugify;
§Examples
§Basic slug generation
assert_eq!(slugify!("hello world"), "hello-world");
§Using a custom separator
assert_eq!(slugify!("hello world", separator = "."), "hello.world");
assert_eq!(slugify!("hello world", separator = " "), "hello world");
§Stop words filtering
assert_eq!(slugify!("the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog", stop_words = "the,fox"), "quick-brown-jumps-over-lazy-dog");
§Maximum length
assert_eq!(slugify!("hello world", max_length = 5), "hello");
assert_eq!(slugify!("the hello world", stop_words = "the", max_length = 5), "hello");
§Phonetic Conversion and accented text
assert_eq!(slugify!("影師嗎"), "ying-shi-ma");
assert_eq!(slugify!("Æúű--cool?"), "aeuu-cool");
assert_eq!(slugify!("Nín hǎo. Wǒ shì zhōng guó rén"), "nin-hao-wo-shi-zhong-guo-ren");
§Passing multiple optional parameters.
NOTE: the order of optional parameters matters: stop_words, separator and then max_length. All of them are optional, however when specifying more than one optional parameter, this order must be adhered.
assert_eq!(slugify!("the hello world", stop_words = "the", separator = "-"), "hello-world");
assert_eq!(slugify!("the hello world", separator = ".", max_length = 10), "the.hello");
assert_eq!(slugify!("the hello world", stop_words = "the", max_length = 5), "hello");
assert_eq!(slugify!("the hello world", stop_words = "the", separator = "-", max_length = 20), "hello-world");
