@20minutes/content-slug

URL slugification used by 20 Minutes for content URL.

Compatibility

• Requires Node.js >= 22.

Installation

yarn add @20minutes/content-slug

Usage

import { toContentSlug, unaccentize} from '@20minutes/content-slug'

unaccentize('mangé')

Slug Rules

toContentSlug applies the following transformations:

• lowercases the input
• replaces underscores with spaces before normalization
• removes diacritics such as é, Å, or ç
• removes a built-in list of common French stop words
• collapses punctuation and whitespace through url-slug
• keeps only the slug-safe output produced by url-slug
• truncates the final slug to 150 characters
• removes trailing hyphens after truncation

Examples:

toContentSlug("le et de ou à")
// ""

toContentSlug("Bonjour!!!___test??")
// "bonjour-test"

toContentSlug("À l'école des Ångströms")
// "ecole-angstroms"

toContentSlug("🍕 Café 東京")
// "cafe"

unaccentize only removes diacritics. It does not slugify, trim, or remove punctuation.
