django-uuslug
================


This fork notes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here ' symbol in result of unidecode.unidecode() is deleted instead of replacing with -.
For example for Russian word "Компьютер" unidecode.unidecode() returns "komp'uter", 
then uuslug create "komp-uter" from this, but translitiration "komputer" seems more natural.


A Django slugify application that guarantees uniqueness and handles unicode.
UUSlug = (``U``nique + ``U``nicode Slug)

Unicode Test Example
=====================
from uuslug import uuslug as slugify

s = "This is a test ---"
r = slugify(s)
self.assertEquals(r, "this-is-a-test")

s = 'C\'est déjà l\'été.'
r = slugify(s)
self.assertEquals(r, "c-est-deja-l-ete")

s = 'Nín hǎo. Wǒ shì zhōng guó rén'
r = slugify(s)
self.assertEquals(r, "nin-hao-wo-shi-zhong-guo-ren")

s = '影師嗎'
r = slugify(s)
self.assertEquals(r, "ying-shi-ma")


Uniqueness Test Example
=======================
Override your object's save method with something like this (models.py)

from django.db import models
from uuslug import uuslug as slugify

class CoolSlug(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    slug = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    
    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.name
    
    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
        self.slug = slugify(self.name, instance=self)
        super(CoolSlug, self).save(*args, **kwargs)

Test:
=====
 
name = "john"
c = CoolSlug.objects.create(name=name)
c.save()
self.assertEquals(c.slug, name) # slug = "john"
  
c1 = CoolSlug.objects.create(name=name)
c1.save()
self.assertEquals(c1.slug, name+"-1") # slug = "john-1"

c1 = CoolSlug.objects.create(name=name)
c1.save()
self.assertEquals(c1.slug, name+"-2") # slug = "john-2"

ToDo:
=====
clean up README
add more test and examples
