zlugify

Generate ASCII slugs from unicode strings

zlugify is part of zedd, a collection of useful libraries for zig.

zlugify

zlugify is a library to generate slugs from all types of UTF-8 encoded strings. It uses anyascii.zig to convert UTF-8 encoded strings into ASCII-only strings.

Versions

zlugify 1.0.1 is made and tested with zig 0.13.0.

How to use

Install

In your project directory:

$ zig fetch --save https://code.zeptotech.net/zedd/zlugify/archive/v1.0.1.tar.gz

In build.zig:

// Add zlugify dependency.
const zlugify = b.dependency("zlugify", .{
	.target = target,
	.optimize = optimize,
});
exe.root_module.addImport("zlugify", zlugify.module("zlugify"));

Examples

These examples are highly inspired from the test cases that you can find at the end of lib.zig.

trim and normalize

const slugify = @import("zlugify").slugify;

const slug = try slugify(allocator, "   This is a test.\t\n");
defer allocator.free(slug);
try std.testing.expectEqualStrings("this-is-a-test", slug);

remove diacritics and unnecessary spaces

const slugify = @import("zlugify").slugify;

const slug = try slugify(allocator, "SôMÈThing   \t    ÉLSÈ");
defer allocator.free(slug);
try std.testing.expectEqualStrings("something-else", slug);

convert non-latin characters

const slugify = @import("zlugify").slugify;

const slug = try slugify(allocator, "埼玉 県");
defer allocator.free(slug);
try std.testing.expectEqualStrings("qiyu-xian", slug);

convert ascii-like characters

const slugify = @import("zlugify").slugify;

const slug = try slugify(allocator, "𝒔𝒍𝒖𝒈𝒊𝒇𝒚 𝒂 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈");
defer allocator.free(slug);
try std.testing.expectEqualStrings("slugify-a-string", slug);

convert emojis

const slugify = @import("zlugify").slugify;

const slug = try slugify(allocator, "hello 🦊");
defer allocator.free(slug);
try std.testing.expectEqualStrings("hello-fox", slug);

customized separator

const slugifySeparator = @import("zlugify").slugify;

const slug = try slugifySeparator(allocator, "tôi yêu những chú kỳ lân", '_');
defer allocator.free(slug);
try std.testing.expectEqualStrings("toi_yeu_nhung_chu_ky_lan", slug);
