GiBiLogic SluggerBundle

A small bundle that contains a ready-to-use slugger service for Symfony 2.

The slugify operation:

• Removes new lines (\n) and/or carriage returns (\r)
• Replaces extended characters ("æ" and "Ñ", for example) into their "plain" versions ("ae" and "n", for example)
• Converts the entire string in lower case (by using the mb_strtolower function)
• Replaces every non-letter non-number character with a separator (defaults to -)

Installation

Add this bundle to the composer.json of your application with the console command:

composer require gibilogic/slugger-bundle

Or, if you are using composer.phar, use the console command:

php composer.phar require gibilogic/slugger-bundle

Add the bundle to your AppKernel.php:

...
new Gibilogic\SluggerBundle\GibilogicSluggerBundle(),
...

Usage

Inside your Symfony 2 application, get the slugger service:

/* @var \Gibilogic\SluggerBundle\Service\Slugger $sluggerService */
$sluggerService = $this->container->get('gibilogic.slugger');

Then call its slugify method:

$slug = $sluggerService->slugify($string);

You can also specify the slug character separator (defaults to -):

$slug = $sluggerService->slugify($string, '_');
