Converts a string to a URL-friendly slug.
|
|
|
|
- Use `String.prototype.toLowerCase()` and `String.prototype.trim()` to normalize the string.
|
|
- Use `String.prototype.replace()` to replace spaces, dashes and underscores with `-` and remove special characters.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const slugify = str =>
|
|
str
|
|
.toLowerCase()
|
|
.trim()
|
|
.replace(/[^\w\s-]/g, '')
|
|
.replace(/[\s_-]+/g, '-')
|
|
.replace(/^-+|-+$/g, '');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
slugify('Hello World!'); // 'hello-world'
|
|
```
