seo-friendly-slugify

As I cannot find an NPM package for SEO-friendly slugify where the url should not contain a certain word, so I created this package.

This package, by default, strips certain words, replace punctuations, and shorten the string. Also works with Unicode characters, as can be seen here.

By default, this package does not unidecode. You will have to extend it.

This package produces an empty string sometimes, and does not ensure uniqueness of ID. You might concatenate with nanoid or Date

Usage

import Slugify from 'seo-friendly-slugify'
const s = new Slugify()
console.log(s.slugify(UGLY_STRING))

Usage in browser without installing Node.js

Due to unpkg, this works

unpkg.com/seo-friendly-slugify@:version/umd/index.min.js

I wrote a topic about this, here.

Usage with Node.js with/without TypeScript

Simply, yarn add seo-friendly-slugify
