Usage

If you want to use Slugify in your Java code you only need the library itself. Here's the dependency information for Maven:

<dependency>
	<groupId>com.github.slugify</groupId>
	<artifactId>slugify</artifactId>
	<version>2.1.3</version>
</dependency>

Now you're able to use it:

Slugify slg = new Slugify();
String result = slg.slugify("Hello, world!");
// result: hello-world

You can set custom replacements for Slugify:

Slugify slg = new Slugify();
slg.setCustomReplacements(new HashMap<String, String>() {{
    put("foo", "bar");
}});

String result = slg.slugify("Hello foo");
// result: hello-bar

Or if you want case sensitivity:

Slugify slg = new Slugify(false);
String result = slg.slugify("Hello, World!");
// result: Hello-World
