# 🔗 URLify

## Description

Convert any string into an valid and readable string for usage in the url.

This is a PHP port of "URLify.js" from the Django project + fallback via "Portable ASCII".
We handles symbols from many languages via an matching-array and others via "ASCII::to_transliterate()".

- https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/admin/static/admin/js/urlify.js
- https://github.com/voku/portable-ascii
- https://github.com/voku/portable-utf8

## Install via "composer require"

```shell
composer require voku/urlify
```

## Usage:

namespace: "voku\helper\URLify"

#### To generate slugs for URLs:

```php
echo URLify::filter(' J\'étudie le français ');
// "J-etudie-le-francais"

echo URLify::filter('Lo siento, no hablo español.');
// "Lo-siento-no-hablo-espanol"
```

#### To generate slugs for file names:

```php
echo URLify::filter('фото.jpg', 60, '', true);
// "foto.jpg"
```

#### To simply transliterate characters:

```php
echo URLify::downcode('J\'étudie le français');
// "J'etudie le francais"

echo URLify::downcode('Lo siento, no hablo español.');
// "Lo siento, no hablo espanol."

/* Or use transliterate() alias: */

echo URLify::transliterate('Lo siento, no hablo español.');
// "Lo siento, no hablo espanol."
```

#### To extend the character list:

```php
URLify::add_chars(array(
  '¿' => '?', '®' => '(r)', '¼' => '1/4',
  '½' => '1/2', '¾' => '3/4', '¶' => 'P'
));

echo URLify::downcode('¿ ® ½ ¼ ¾ ¶');
// "? (r) 1/2 1/4 3/4 P"
```

#### To extend or replace the default replacing list:

```php
URLify::add_array_to_seperator(array(
  "/®/"
));

echo URLify::filter('¿ ® ½ ¼ ¾ ¶');
// "12-14-34-P"
```

#### To extend the list of words to remove for one language:

```php
URLify::remove_words(array('remove', 'these', 'too'), 'de');
```

#### To prioritize a certain language map:

```php
echo URLify::filter(' Ägypten und Österreich besitzen wie üblich ein Übermaß an ähnlich öligen Attachés ', 60, 'de');
// "Aegypten-und-Oesterreich-besitzen-wie-ueblich-ein-Uebermass-aehnlich-oeligen-Attaches"
   
echo URLify::filter('Cağaloğlu, çalıştığı, müjde, lazım, mahkûm', 60, 'tr');
// "Cagaloglu-calistigi-mujde-lazim-mahkum"
```
Please note that the "ü" is transliterated to "ue" in the first case, whereas it results in a simple "u" in the latter.
