Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

slugger

Dead simple slugification for node and browser.

What it does:

Converts any string into a url friendly version:

slugger('Hello yOu CRAZY Swede!'); // returns 'hello-you-crazy-swede'

// optionally maintain case
slugger('Hello yOu CRAZY Swede!', {maintainCase: true}); // returns 'Hello-yOu-CRAZY-Swede'

// optionally use a different replacement character
slugger('Hello yOu CRAZY Swede!', {replacement: '_'}); // returns 'hello_you_crazy_swede'

// optionally trim to max length while not breaking any words
slugger('Hello yOu CRAZY Swede!', {smartTrim: 9}); // returns 'hello-you'

// optionally allow additional characters
// just pass string of characters that would normally be removed
// that you want to allow.
slugger('Hello yOu CRAZY Swede!', {alsoAllow: "!&"}); // returns 'hello-you-crazy-swede!'

// decodes URI components by default, so {decode: true} is not required
slugger('boo%20boo') // returns 'boo-boo';
// now without decode
slugger('boo%20boo', {decode: false}) // returns boo20boo;

That's all there is to it!

Installing

npm install slugger

Or just grab the slugger.js file and drop it into your project.

It also plays nicely with: https://github.com/henrikjoreteg/clientmodules

Why did I write this when there's already https://github.com/dodo/node-slug ?

Because I wanted something simpler that didn't try to do anything with special characters or unicode and I wanted something that worked well in the browser or node.

Tests?

Just run npm test

Changelog

  • 0.1.0 - Adding option to allow other characters

Dig it?

Then you should probably follow @HenrikJoreteg on twitter.
