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
====================

This module, by default installs and uses [text-unidecode](https://github.com/kmike/text-unidecode) *(GPL & Perl Artistic)* for its decoding needs.

However, there is an alternative decoding package called [Unidecode](https://github.com/avian2/unidecode) *(GPL)*. It can be installed as `python-slugify[unidecode]` for those who prefer it.

How to install
====================
    easy_install python-slugify |OR| easy_install python-slugify[unidecode]
    -- OR --
    pip install python-slugify |OR| pip install python-slugify[unidecode]

Options 
===================
```python
def slugify(
    text,
    entities=True,
    decimal=True,
    hexadecimal=True,
    max_length=0,
    word_boundary=False,
    separator='-',
    save_order=False,
    stopwords=(),
    regex_pattern=None,
    lowercase=True,
    replacements=()
  ):
  """
  Make a slug from the given text.
  :param text (str): initial text
  :param entities (bool): converts html entities to unicode (foo & bar -> foo-bar)
  :param decimal (bool): converts html decimal to unicode (Ž -> Ž -> z)
  :param hexadecimal (bool): converts html hexadecimal to unicode (Ž -> Ž -> z)
  :param max_length (int): output string length
  :param word_boundary (bool): truncates to end of full words (length may be shorter than max_length)
  :param save_order (bool): if parameter is True and max_length > 0 return whole words in the initial order
  :param separator (str): separator between words
  :param stopwords (iterable): words to discount
  :param regex_pattern (str): regex pattern for allowed characters
  :param lowercase (bool): activate case sensitivity by setting it to False
  :param replacements (iterable): list of replacement rules e.g. [['|', 'or'], ['%', 'percent']]
  :return (str): slugify text
  """
```

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_")

txt = '10 | 20 %'
r = slugify(txt, replacements=[['|', 'or'], ['%', 'percent']])
self.assertEqual(r, "10-or-20-percent")

txt = 'ÜBER Über German Umlaut'
r = slugify(txt, replacements=[['Ü', 'UE'], ['ü', 'ue']])
self.assertEqual(r, "ueber-ueber-german-umlaut")

```
