What, Why & Where

What is Slugify?

It turns arbitrary text into a URL-safe identifier (a “slug”) by normalizing characters and applying your rules.

Why use it?

Slugs improve readability, SEO, and stability of links by avoiding spaces, accents, and unsafe characters.

Where is it applied?

  • Blog post URLs and categories
  • E-commerce product handles
  • File names and object keys
  • DB unique keys and identifiers

Best practices

  • Prefer lowercase with hyphens for readability
  • Strip accents to avoid encoding issues
  • Keep slugs short (≤ 60–80 chars)
  • Avoid leaking PII in slugs
