Slugify URLs

The slugify_urls plugin converts all URLs in your HTML documents removing or replacing conflictive characteres like accents, spaces, etc. This plugin is disabled by default so to enable it you have to import and use it in the _config.js file:

import slugifyUrls from "lume/plugins/slugify_urls.ts";

site.use(slugifyUrls());

export default site;

Once enabled, all output paths are automatically slugified: the spaces are replaced with -, characters like ñ or á are replaced by ASCII equivalents (n and a) and converted to lower case:

/posts/My First Post.md  =>  /posts/my-first-post/index.html

You can configure the slugifier in your _config.js file with the following options:

import slugifyUrls from "lume/plugins/slugify_urls.ts";

site.use(slugifyUrls({
  lowercase: true, // Converts all characters to lowercase
  alphanumeric: true, // Replace non alphanumeric characters for the equivalent. Example: ñ to n.
  separator: "-", // Character used as separator for words
  replace: { // An object with individual characters replacements
    "Ð": "D", // eth
    "ð": "d",
    "Đ": "D", // crossed D
    "đ": "d",
    "ø": "o",
    "ß": "ss",
    "æ": "ae",
    "œ": "oe",
}));
