# Python Slugify
**A Python slugify application that handles unicode**.
[![status-image]][status-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. `Unidecode` is believed to be more advanced.

"""
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 disallowed characters
:param lowercase (bool): activate case sensitivity by setting it to False
:param replacements (iterable): list of replacement rules e.g. [['|', 'or'], ['%', 'percent']]
:param allow_unicode (bool): allow unicode characters
: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 = '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
```
