In JS is quite of easy to replace chars by using str.replace for example, but, what happens when you want to remove accent marks?
I'm a native Spanish speaker, so this could be helpful if you need to handle some Spanish words.
This tiny post will build an example on how to make a slug from a Spanish sentences strings.
The code
// Input example
const spanishSentences = [
"teléfono",
"árbol",
"colibrí",
"cómpramelo",
"Mandó una carta",
"Qué grande es ese perro"
];
// Function definition
function createSlug(input){
return input
.toLowerCase()
.trim()
.replace(/[\s_-]+/g, "-")
.replace(/^-+|-+$/g, "")
.normalize("NFD")
.replace(/[\u0300-\u036f]/g, "");
}
// Usage
const output = spanishSentences.map(createSlug);
console.log(output);
// Output:
/*
[
"telefono",
"arbol",
"colibri",
"compramelo",
"mando-una-carta",
"que-grande-es-ese-perro"
]
*/
You can test it in this JS Bin
And that's it, happy coding!
