(Greek) Slug Generator
======================

[](#greek-slug-generator)

`GreekSlugGenerator` is a [slug](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slug_(web_publishing)#Slug) (pretty URL) generator, which supports Greek UTF-8 encoded characters, and generates a slug based on strings which are typically titles of pages or articles.

**The class can be used for English-only titles as well.**

If a Greek character is found, it is converted to its English equivalent.

Spaces as well as some punctuation marks are converted to dashes, but if at any point multiple sequential dashes are produced, only one appears in the final slug.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

It can be installed either by requiring the `GreekSlugGenerator.php` file under `src`, or via Composer by using the [Packagist archive](https://packagist.org/packages/stathisg/greek-slug-generator).

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

```
use \StathisG\GreekSlugGenerator\GreekSlugGenerator;

// produces: the-class-can-be-used-for-english-only-titles-as-well
echo GreekSlugGenerator::getSlug('The class can be used for ENGLISH-ONLY titles as well');

// produces: it-ignores-multiple-spaces-between-the-words
echo GreekSlugGenerator::getSlug('It   ignores   multiple   spaces   between   the   words');

// produces: as-well-as-brackets-quotes-commas-and-full-stops
echo GreekSlugGenerator::getSlug('As well as brackets {[()]}, quotes `\'", commas, and full stops.');

//produces: some-others-are-converted-in-dashes-but-if-at-any-point-multiple-sequential-dashes-are-produced-only-one-appears-
echo GreekSlugGenerator::getSlug('Some others are converted in dashes, but if at any point multiple sequential dashes are produced, only one appears: \/_-');

// produces: greek-example-1-ekthesh-fwtografias-to-rethymno-kai-h-thalassa-hmeres-rethymnoy-2013
echo GreekSlugGenerator::getSlug('Greek example #1: Έκθεση Φωτογραφίας «Το Ρέθυμνο και η Θάλασσα» - "Ημέρες Ρεθύμνου" 2013');

// produces: greek-example-2-h-ekthesh-ksekinaei-thn-tetarth-08-05-2013-kai-wra-20-45-h-diarkeia-ths-ektheshs-tha-einai-apo-08-05-ews-07-06
