我不太了解Ruby或Rails，但在Perl中，这是我要做的:

my $title = "How do you change a title to be part of the url like Stackoverflow?";

my $url = lc $title;   # Change to lower case and copy to URL.
$url =~ s/^\s+//g;     # Remove leading spaces.
$url =~ s/\s+$//g;     # Remove trailing spaces.
$url =~ s/\s+/\-/g;    # Change one or more spaces to single hyphen.
$url =~ s/[^\w\-]//g;  # Remove any non-word characters.

print "$title\n$url\n";

我刚做了一个快速测试，似乎有用。希望这在Ruby中比较容易翻译。

有一个叫PermalinkFu的小Ruby on Rails插件可以做到这一点。escape方法将转换为适合URL的字符串。看一下代码;那个方法很简单。

为了删除非ascii字符，它使用iconv lib将'utf-8'转换为'ascii//ignore//translit'。然后空格变成破折号，所有东西都被缩小，等等。

我们是这样做的。注意，可能有比你第一眼意识到的更多的边缘条件。

这是第二个版本，展开后的性能提高了5倍(是的，我对它进行了基准测试)。我认为我应该优化它，因为这个函数可以在每页被调用数百次。

/// <summary>
/// Produces optional, URL-friendly version of a title, "like-this-one". 
/// hand-tuned for speed, reflects performance refactoring contributed
/// by John Gietzen (user otac0n) 
/// </summary>
public static string URLFriendly(string title)
{
    if (title == null) return "";

    const int maxlen = 80;
    int len = title.Length;
    bool prevdash = false;
    var sb = new StringBuilder(len);
    char c;

    for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
    {
        c = title[i];
        if ((c >= 'a' && c <= 'z') || (c >= '0' && c <= '9'))
        {
            sb.Append(c);
            prevdash = false;
        }
        else if (c >= 'A' && c <= 'Z')
        {
            // tricky way to convert to lowercase
            sb.Append((char)(c | 32));
            prevdash = false;
        }
        else if (c == ' ' || c == ',' || c == '.' || c == '/' || 
            c == '\\' || c == '-' || c == '_' || c == '=')
        {
            if (!prevdash && sb.Length > 0)
            {
                sb.Append('-');
                prevdash = true;
            }
        }
        else if ((int)c >= 128)
        {
            int prevlen = sb.Length;
            sb.Append(RemapInternationalCharToAscii(c));
            if (prevlen != sb.Length) prevdash = false;
        }
        if (i == maxlen) break;
    }

    if (prevdash)
        return sb.ToString().Substring(0, sb.Length - 1);
    else
        return sb.ToString();
}

要查看被替换的代码的前一个版本(但在功能上与之相当，而且快了5倍)，请查看这篇文章的修订历史(单击日期链接)。

另外，RemapInternationalCharToAscii方法的源代码可以在这里找到。

您可以使用以下帮助器方法。它可以转换Unicode字符。

public static string ConvertTextToSlug(string s)
{
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

    bool wasHyphen = true;

    foreach (char c in s)
    {
        if (char.IsLetterOrDigit(c))
        {
            sb.Append(char.ToLower(c));
            wasHyphen = false;
        }
        else
            if (char.IsWhiteSpace(c) && !wasHyphen)
            {
                sb.Append('-');
                wasHyphen = true;
            }
    }

    // Avoid trailing hyphens
    if (wasHyphen && sb.Length > 0)
        sb.Length--;

    return sb.ToString().Replace("--","-");
}

你也可以使用这个JavaScript函数在表单中生成鼻涕虫(这个是基于/从Django复制的):

function makeSlug(urlString, filter) {
    // Changes, e.g., "Petty theft" to "petty_theft".
    // Remove all these words from the string before URLifying

    if(filter) {
        removelist = ["a", "an", "as", "at", "before", "but", "by", "for", "from",
        "is", "in", "into", "like", "of", "off", "on", "onto", "per",
        "since", "than", "the", "this", "that", "to", "up", "via", "het", "de", "een", "en",
        "with"];
    }
    else {
        removelist = [];
    }
    s = urlString;
    r = new RegExp('\\b(' + removelist.join('|') + ')\\b', 'gi');
    s = s.replace(r, '');
    s = s.replace(/[^-\w\s]/g, ''); // Remove unneeded characters
    s = s.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, ''); // Trim leading/trailing spaces
    s = s.replace(/[-\s]+/g, '-'); // Convert spaces to hyphens
    s = s.toLowerCase(); // Convert to lowercase
    return s; // Trim to first num_chars characters
}

我将代码移植到TypeScript中。它可以很容易地适应JavaScript。

我添加了一个.contains方法到字符串原型，如果你的目标是最新的浏览器或ES6，你可以使用.includes代替。

if (!String.prototype.contains) {
    String.prototype.contains = function (check) {
        return this.indexOf(check, 0) !== -1;
    };
}

declare interface String {
    contains(check: string): boolean;
}

export function MakeUrlFriendly(title: string) {
            if (title == null || title == '')
                return '';

            const maxlen = 80;
            let len = title.length;
            let prevdash = false;
            let result = '';
            let c: string;
            let cc: number;
            let remapInternationalCharToAscii = function (c: string) {
                let s = c.toLowerCase();
                if ("àåáâäãåą".contains(s)) {
                    return "a";
                }
                else if ("èéêëę".contains(s)) {
                    return "e";
                }
                else if ("ìíîïı".contains(s)) {
