Unique-slug is a useful npm package that generates a unique character string. This string is tailored to be suitable for use in files and URLs. Being unique, it helps in maintaining the individuality and distinctiveness of the files or URLs it is used for. The uniqueness of these slugs contributes to stronger SEO practices by reducing duplicate content and enhancing the-user friendliness of a website's URLs.
To use the unique-slug npm package, you should first install it in your project by running npm install unique-slug
in your terminal. After installing, you need to require it in the file where you want to use it. Here's a basic example of how to use unique-slug:
var uniqueSlug = require('unique-slug');
var randomSlug = uniqueSlug(); // Generates a random unique slug
var fileSlug = uniqueSlug('/etc/passwd'); //Returns the murmur hash of '/etc/passwd' in hexadecimal
In this code, uniqueSlug()
generates a unique slug composed of 4 randomly generated bytes converted into 8 hexadecimal characters. When you pass a string to uniqueSlug(*str*)
, it returns the murmur hash of that input string in hexadecimal.
