In JS is quite of easy to replace chars by using str.replace for example, but, what happens when you want to remove accent marks?
I'm a native Spanish speaker, so this could be helpful if you need to handle some Spanish words.
This tiny post will build an example on how to make a slug from a Spanish sentences strings.
The code
// Input example const spanishSentences = [ "teléfono", "árbol", "colibrí", "cómpramelo", "Mandó una carta", "Qué grande es ese perro" ]; // Function definition function createSlug(input){ return input .toLowerCase() .trim() .replace(/[\s_-]+/g, "-") .replace(/^-+|-+$/g, "") .normalize("NFD") .replace(/[\u0300-\u036f]/g, ""); } // Usage const output = spanishSentences.map(createSlug); console.log(output); // Output: /* [ "telefono", "arbol", "colibri", "compramelo", "mando-una-carta", "que-grande-es-ese-perro" ] */ You can test it in this JS Bin
And that's it, happy coding!
