README
slugger is a fast PHP library to generate slugs, which allows to safely include any string as part of an URL. Slugs are commonly used for CMS, blogs and other content-related platforms.
Installation
The easiest way to install slugger is to add this library as a dependency of your project using Composer:
$ cd your-project/
$ composer require easybook/slugger 1.*
If you prefer, add the new dependency by hand to your composer.json
file and
then, execute the composer update
command to update your dependencies:
{ "name" : "...", "description" : "...", "require": { "php" : ">=5.3.3", "easybook/slugger" : "1.0.*" } }
Generating slugs
Most slugger libraries include a lot of settings to configure how the slugs are generated. slugger uses a different approach to offer both a great performance and enough flexibility: it includes four different slugger classes!
Slugger
, fast slugs suited for most European languages.Utf8Slugger
, UTF-8-compliant slugger suitable for any alphabet (including japanese, arabic and hebrew languages). It requires PHP 5.4.0 or higher.SeoSlugger
, advanced slugger that augments the strings before turning them into slugs. For instance, the stringThe product #3 costs $9.99
is turned intothe-product-number-3-costs-9-dollars-99-cents
.SeoUtf8Slugger
, combines theUtf8Slugger
and theSeoSlugger
to augment and slugify any UTF-8 string.
All sluggers implement the SluggerInterface
interface, which allows you to
safely switch in your projects from one slugger to another.
Generating basic slugs
The easiest way to generate slugs is to use the slugify()
method of the
Slugger
class:
use Easybook\Slugger; $slugger = new Slugger(); $slug = $slugger->slugify('Lorem Ipsum'); // slug = lorem-ipsum
If you use PHP 5.5.0 or higher, you can generate slugs with a single line of code:
$slugger = (new \Easybook\Slugger())->slugify('Lorem Ipsum');
Generating unique slugs
If you need to ensure the uniqueness of the slugs generated during the
execution of your application, use the uniqueSlugify()
, which appends a
random suffix to the slug:
use Easybook\Slugger; $slugger = new Slugger(); $slug = $slugger->uniqueSlugify('Lorem Ipsum'); // slug = lorem-ipsum-a2b342f
Keep in mind that the generation of the unique slugs is non-deterministic, meaning that the appended suffix is random and it will change in each application execution, even when using the same input string.
If you want to append an autoincremental numeric suffix to the slugs, you'll need to develop your own custom solution.
Generating slugs for complex languages
If the strings contain characters belonging to complex languages such as
Arabic, Hebrew and Japanese, you should use the Utf8Slugger
class. This
slugger requires PHP 5.4.0 or higher because it uses the built-in PHP
transliterator:
use Easybook\Utf8Slugger; $slugger = new Utf8lugger(); $slug = $slugger->slugify('日一国会'); // slug = ri-yi-guo-hui $slug = $slugger->slugify('ضطظع'); // slug = fqklmnhwyy $slug = $slugger->slugify('נסעףפ'); // slug = wwwyyy
Utf8Slugger
also defines the uniqueSlugify()
to generate unique slugs.
Generating SEO slugs
The SeoSlugger
(and the related SeoUtf8Slugger
) augments the strings
before turning them into slugs. The conversions are related to numbers,
currencies, email addresses and other common symbols:
use Easybook\SeoSlugger; $slugger = new SeoSlugger(); $slug = $slugger->slugify('The price is $5.99'); // slug = the-price-is-5-dollars-99-cents $slug = $slugger->slugify('Use lorem@ipsum.com to get a 10% discount'); // slug = use-lorem-at-ipsum-dot-com-to-get-a-10-percent-discount $slug = $slugger->slugify('Gravity = 9.81 m/s2'); // slug = gravity-equals-9-dot-81-m-s2
SeoSlugger
and SeoUtf8Slugger
also define the uniqueSlugify()
to
generate unique slugs.
Configuration options
The only configuration option defined by slugger is the separator
character (or string) used to separate each of the slug parts. First, you can
set this parameter globally using the class constructor:
use Easybook\Slugger; $slugger = new Slugger(); $slug = $slugger->slugify('Lorem Ipsum'); // slug = lorem-ipsum $slugger = new Slugger('_'); $slug = $slugger->slugify('Lorem Ipsum'); // slug = lorem_ipsum $slugger = new Slugger(''); $slug = $slugger->slugify('Lorem Ipsum'); // slug = loremipsum
You can also set this parameter as the second optional argument of the
slugify()
and uniqueSlugify()
methods. This parameter always overrides
any global parameter set by the class:
use Easybook\Slugger; $slugger = new Slugger(); $slug = $slugger->slugify('Lorem Ipsum', '_'); // slug = lorem_ipsum $slug = $slugger->slugify('Lorem Ipsum', ''); // slug = loremipsum $slugger = new Slugger('+'); $slug = $slugger->slugify('Lorem Ipsum', '_'); // slug = lorem_ipsum
