# Python Slugify

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

# 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. `Unidecode` is believed to be more [advanced](https://github.com/un33k/python-slugify/wiki/Python-Slugify-Wiki#notes-on-unidecode).

### `Official` Support Matrix

| `>= 2.7 < 3.6` | `< 5.0.0`          |
| `>= 3.6 < 3.7` | `>= 5.0.0 < 7.0.0` |

# 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 = '影師嗎'
r = slugify(txt, allow_unicode=True)
self.assertEqual(r, "影師嗎")

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")

txt = 'i love 🦄'
r = slugify(txt, allow_unicode=True)
self.assertEqual(r, "i-love")

txt = 'i love 🦄'
r = slugify(txt, allow_unicode=True, regex_pattern=r'[^🦄]+')
self.assertEqual(r, "🦄")

```

# Command Line Options

With the package, a command line tool called `slugify` is also installed.

It allows convenient command line access to all the features the `slugify` function supports. Call it with `-h` for help.

The command can take its input directly on the command line or from STDIN (when the `--stdin` flag is passed):

```
$ echo "Taking input from STDIN" | slugify --stdin
taking-input-from-stdin
```

```
$ slugify taking input from the command line
taking-input-from-the-command-line
```

Please note that when a multi-valued option such as `--stopwords` or `--replacements` is passed, you need to use `--` as separator before you start with the input:

```
$ slugify --stopwords the in a hurry -- the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog in a hurry
quick-brown-fox-jumps-over-lazy-dog
```
