Slugifier
=========

[](#slugifier)

Simple, extensible library that converts a string to a slug.

Another one?
------------

[](#another-one)

Yep, sorry. We think this one is pretty good though. Check out the features to see if it's good for you, too.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Lightweight: no dependencies, other than the `mbstring` and `iconv` extensions, which are almost always present.
- Easy to use: `(new Slugifier())->slugify('Look Ma, no hands!'); // look-ma-no-hands`
- Handles special characters, all kinds of quotes, transliteration, HTML entities, and more. All out of the box.
- Extensible: add your custom translations
- PSR-4 compatible and written using PRS-2 coding guidelines [![Scrutinizer Code Quality](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/590e6089b3b7cf075bcf82b9aa96e66d10b266f57ac07016f79e9679c68fcc0a/68747470733a2f2f7363727574696e697a65722d63692e636f6d2f672f74726565686f7573656c6162732f736c756769666965722f6261646765732f7175616c6974792d73636f72652e706e673f623d6d6173746572)](https://scrutinizer-ci.com/g/treehouselabs/slugifier/?branch=master)
- [Well-tested](/tests/TreeHouse/Slugifier/Tests/SlugifierTest.php) [![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/fc019e19f600c0b4695fb50f3508724c054a67c9784ea7dafaa2905f489588bb/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f74726565686f7573656c6162732f736c756769666965722e737667)](https://travis-ci.org/treehouselabs/slugifier)

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
$slugifier = new Slugifier();
$slugifier->slugify('Look má, I\'m a „slug”'); // look-ma-im-a-slug
```

Use a different delimiter:

```
$slugifier = new Slugifier();
$slugifier->slugify('Foo, bar & baz', '_'); // foo_bar_baz
```

Add special translations:

```
$slugifier = new Slugifier();
$slugifier->addTranslator(new EnglishTranslator());
$slugifier->slugify('Cow & chicken'); // cow-and-chicken
```

Or write your own:

```
class CowTranslator implements TranslatorInterface
{
    public function translate($str)
    {
        return str_ireplace('cow', 'supercow', $str);
    }
}

$slugifier = new Slugifier();
$slugifier->addTranslator(new CowTranslator());
$slugifier->slugify('Cow to the rescue'); // supercow-to-the-rescue
```

Changing the default behaviour
------------------------------

[](#changing-the-default-behaviour)

By default, special characters, quotes, HTML entities and more are converted. You can disable this behaviour by passing `false` to the constructor. This way you can start from scratch and add your own translators. The `iconv`transliteration is still performed though as we want to convert to ascii while preserving as much of the original data as possible.
