Slugify a string in JavaScript
Install the slugify library
npm i slugify
Then import it
import slugify from 'slugify'
and you can do
const slug = slugify('Testing this')
console.log(slug) //testing-this
Note that if the string contains dots or other punctuation, it will not strip that.
To remove that, you can use a regex like this:
slugify('Testing. this!', { remove: /[*+~.,()'"!:@]/g })
