Neat Slug for Node.js

Neat Slug is a simple Node.js module that concatenates keywords of a string with the '-' symbol. There are zero dependencies to this package, so it's very lightweight and quick to install and test.

Install Neat Slug using npm

 
npm install neat-slug

To use Neat Slug, simply require it, and pass it your title text:

 
var neatSlug = require('neat-slug');
 
// Make "Oh What a Wonderful World" a slug:
var slug = neatSlug("Oh what a wonderful world!");
console.log(slug); // -> 'wonderful-world'
 
// Turn the title "How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days" into a slug:
slug = neatSlug("How to lose a guy in ten days");
// Slug = 'lose-guy-ten-days'

Neat Slug can also handle more complex strings, as in the example below:

var titleString = "123 1 2 3 @This., -34/ 1234 #! 90182.2312 $ % ^" +
    " & 1* green ;123: {} 123 a = 123123-_ smoothies with `~)() kale";
 
var slug = neatSlug(titleString);
console.log(slug); // -> green-smoothies-kale
