Python Slugify
====================

**A Python slugify application that handles unicode**.

[![status-image]][status-link]
[![version-image]][version-link]
[![coverage-image]][coverage-link]

Overview
====================

**Best attempt** to create slugs from unicode strings while keeping it **DRY**.

Notice
====================

By default, this modules installs and uses [Unidecode](https://github.com/avian2/unidecode) *(GPL)* for its decoding needs.  However if you wish to use [text-unidecode](https://github.com/kmike/text-unidecode) *(GPL & Perl Artistic)* instead, please ensure it is installed prior to `python-slugify` installation.

In cases where both `Unidecode` and `text-unidecode` are installed, the `Unidecode` is used as the default decoding module.


How to install
====================

    1. easy_install python-slugify
    2. pip install python-slugify
    3. git clone http://github.com/un33k/python-slugify
        a. cd python-slugify
        b. python setup.py install
    4. wget https://github.com/un33k/python-slugify/zipball/master
        a. unzip the downloaded file
        b. cd python-slugify-*
        c. python setup.py install


How to use
====================

   ```python
    from slugify import slugify

    txt = "This is a test ---"
    r = slugify(txt)
    self.assertEqual(r, "this-is-a-test")

    txt = '影師嗎'
    r = slugify(txt)
    self.assertEqual(r, "ying-shi-ma")

    txt = 'C\'est déjà l\'été.'
    r = slugify(txt)
    self.assertEqual(r, "c-est-deja-l-ete")

    txt = 'Nín hǎo. Wǒ shì zhōng guó rén'
    r = slugify(txt)
    self.assertEqual(r, "nin-hao-wo-shi-zhong-guo-ren")

    txt = 'Компьютер'
    r = slugify(txt)
    self.assertEqual(r, "kompiuter")

    txt = 'jaja---lol-méméméoo--a'
    r = slugify(txt, max_length=9)
    self.assertEqual(r, "jaja-lol")

    txt = 'jaja---lol-méméméoo--a'
    r = slugify(txt, max_length=15, word_boundary=True)
    self.assertEqual(r, "jaja-lol-a")

    txt = 'jaja---lol-méméméoo--a'
    r = slugify(txt, max_length=20, word_boundary=True, separator=".")
    self.assertEqual(r, "jaja.lol.mememeoo.a")

    txt = 'one two three four five'
    r = slugify(txt, max_length=13, word_boundary=True, save_order=True)
    self.assertEqual(r, "one-two-three")

    txt = 'the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog'
    r = slugify(txt, stopwords=['the'])
    self.assertEqual(r, 'quick-brown-fox-jumps-over-lazy-dog')

    txt = 'the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog in a hurry'
    r = slugify(txt, stopwords=['the', 'in', 'a', 'hurry'])
    self.assertEqual(r, 'quick-brown-fox-jumps-over-lazy-dog')

    txt = 'thIs Has a stopword Stopword'
    r = slugify(txt, stopwords=['Stopword'], lowercase=False)
    self.assertEqual(r, 'thIs-Has-a-stopword')

    txt = "___This is a test___"
    regex_pattern = r'[^-a-z0-9_]+'
    r = slugify(txt, regex_pattern=regex_pattern)
    self.assertEqual(r, "___this-is-a-test___")

    txt = "___This is a test___"
    regex_pattern = r'[^-a-z0-9_]+'
    r = slugify(txt, separator='_', regex_pattern=regex_pattern)
    self.assertNotEqual(r, "_this_is_a_test_")

   ```
