How to use it

Basic usage

Very simple:, _(*4)

use \Malenki\Slug;

$s = new Slug('Some string!');

echo $s->render();
//or
echo $s; // toString available, give "some-string"

Add custom rules

You can add your own rules to replace some chars:, _(*5)

use \Malenki\Slug;

$s = new Slug('One example string, again!');

$s->rule('!', '-wouah');

echo $s; // "one-example-string-again-wouah"

You can define void slug object to use many string later, usefull if you define rules, to use them again and again:, _(*6)

use \Malenki\Slug;

$s = new Slug();

$s->rule('!', '-wouah')->rule('?', '-huh');
$s->v('Genius!');
echo $s; // "genius-wouah"
$s->v('Genius?');
echo $s; // "genius-huh"

History

By default, Slug use history into running script context, if a generated slug is already present, then add number with increment to it:, _(*7)

use \Malenki\Slug;

$s = new Slug('one-string');
echo $s; // "one-string"
$s = new Slug('one-string');
echo $s; // "one-string-2"
$s = new Slug('one-string');
echo $s; // "one-string-3"

But you can disable this behaviour:, _(*8)

use \Malenki\Slug;

$s = new Slug('one-string');
echo $s->noHistory(); // "one-string"
$s = new Slug('one-string');
echo $s->noHistory(); // "one-string"
$s = new Slug('one-string');
echo $s->noHistory(); // "one-string"

// or

$s = new Slug();
echo $s->noHistory()->v('one-string'); // "one-string"
echo $s->noHistory()->v('one-string'); // "one-string"
echo $s->noHistory()->v('one-string'); // "one-string"

You can use predefined history of slug too, usefull if you have a lot of them in DB for example:, _(*9)

$s = new Slug();
Slug::history(array('one-string', 'another-one'));
echo $s->v('one-string'); // "one-string-2"

// some french
$s = new Slug('C’est rigolo d’écrire en français !');
echo $s; // "c-est-rigolo-d-ecrire-en-francais"

// some greek
$s = new Slug('Τα ελληνικά σου είναι καλύτερα απο τα Γαλλικά μου!');
echo $s; // "ta-ellenika-sou-einai-kalytera-apo-ta-gallika-mou"
