• contains only alphanumeric ASCII characters or a hyphen ('-')
• only contains lower-case characters
• begins with an alpha character
• ends with an alphanumeric character

• down
• what-4
• up-2-no-good

Invalid Slugs

• up
• low-
• -away
• 1-neat-trick

Usage

const {validate: validateSlug} = require('npme-slug-validate')

function validateEnterpriseSlug (eSlug) {
  const err = validateSlug(eSlug)

  return err ? Promise.reject(err) : Promise.resolve(eSlug)
}
