Slugify

POST /api/slugify

Generate URL slugs from arbitrary strings. Lowercases, transliterates accented characters, strips punctuation, and replaces whitespace with hyphens.

Converts a string into a URL-friendly slug: - Lowercases (configurable). - Transliterates accented characters (`é` → `e`, `ß` → `ss`, Cyrillic / Greek / etc. → closest Latin equivalent). - Strips punctuation. - Replaces runs of whitespace with a single separator (default `-`). Useful for blog-post URLs, GitHub-style anchor IDs, predictable filenames from user-supplied titles.

Inputs

lowercase	boolean	true	Lowercase the output.
decamelize	boolean	true	Split `camelCase`/`PascalCase` into separate words first.
