I want to introduce my first library ever released on opam.
Link to Github repository: GitHub - thangngoc89/ocaml-slug: Url safe slug generator for OCaml

ocaml-slug

Url safe slug generator for OCaml

A URL slug is the part of a URL or link that comes after the domain extension.

In websites the keyword used for your URL slug can be used to SEO optimize the URL by showing Google the structure of your site and the contents of the page in question.

This library turns title into URL-safe slug with support for non-latin characters.

This library uses algorithm and data from node-slugify

Installation

opam install slug

If you use esy

esy add @opam/slug

Usage

  • OCaml syntax:
Slug.slugify "my string";;
- : string = "my-string"

(* Custom separator *)
Slug.slugify ?sep: "_" "my string";;
- : string = "my_string" 

(* Retain uppercase *)
Slug.slugify ?lowercase: false "My String";;
- : string = "My-String" 

(* Use locale *)
let with_vi = Slug.(Charmap.mk_charmap [Slug_data.base; Slug_data.vi]);;
- : Charmap.t = <abstr>
Slug.slugify ?charmap: with_vi "Đ";;
- : string = "d" 
Slug.slugify "Đ";;
- : string = "dj"

(* Custom characters map *)
let custom_map = Slug.(Charmap.mk_charmap [Slug_data.base; [ ("M", "z"); ("m", "z") ]]);;
val custom_map : Charmap.t = <abstr>

Slug.slugify ?charmap: custom_map "Mm";;
- : string = "zz"
  • ReasonML syntax
Slug.slugify("my string");
- : string = "my-string"

/* Custom separator */
Slug.slugify(~sep = "_", "my string");
- : string = "my_string" 

/* Retain uppercase */
Slug.slugify(~lowercase = false, "My String");
- : string = "My-String" 

/* Use locale */
let with_vi = Slug.(Charmap.mk_charmap([Slug_data.base, Slug_data.vi]));
let with_vi : Charmap.t = <abstr>
Slug.slugify(~charmap = with_vi, "Đ");
- : string = "d" 
Slug.slugify("Đ");
- : string = "dj"

/* Custom characters map */
let custom_map = Slug.(Charmap.mk_charmap([Slug_data.base, [ ("M", "z"), ("m", "z") ]]));;
let custom_map : Charmap.t = <abstr>

Slug.slugify(~charmap = custom_map, "Mm");
- : string = "zz"
