Slugger is a simple PHP utility class to make slugs out of strings, that can handle special Arabic/French characters.
While working at Kreo,
I needed a library that can generate slugs from strings with some special characters,
like French accented characters as well as Arabic Shadda and special Arabic characters (like the Arabic comma ุ
).
This might not be a complete slugger but this what worked for me at the time, so I thought I'd share it. Any suggestions and feedback are most welcome :-)
use BReda\Slugger\Slugger;
// Normal call
$slugger = new Slugger('-', [
// Presets here, remove/add what's needed,
// but at least the basic preset should be present.
new \BReda\Slugger\Presets\BasicPreset,
new \BReda\Slugger\Presets\ArabicPreset,
]);
// Load a new preset
$slugger->loadPreset(new \BReda\Slugger\Presets\FrenchPreset);
// Make the slug
$slugged = $slugger->make("This should be slugged");
// Statically
// When using staticMake, all available presets will be loaded.
$slugged = Slugger::staticMake("This should be slugged too", "-");
I wrote this utility class to be compatible with Eloquent Sluggable which I was using at the time, with Laravel PHP Framework. But it can be used anywhere of course.
