slug

Documentation

Overview

Package slug derives URL-safe identifiers from human-readable names.

This is the deterministic half of a larger slug package, vendored so the id::slug builtin keeps working without the language depending on a host. The collision-resolving variants need a datastore to ask "does this candidate already exist?", which a language runtime must not require — id::slug always called Generate with a nil existence check, so only the normalization below was ever reachable from DTL.

Functions

func Generate

func Generate(name string) string

Generate produces a URL-safe slug from name.

Rules:

• Lowercase
• Letters and digits pass through
• Whitespace, dashes, underscores, slashes and dots collapse to a single "-"
• Anything else is dropped
• Leading/trailing dashes trimmed
• Empty result becomes "untitled"
