# Slugify
> [!NOTE]
> A GitHub Action that transforms input strings into URL-friendly slugs
This action creates standardized slug versions of your input variables, offering multiple formatting options:
## Output Formats
- `<env name>_SLUG`
- Converts text to lowercase
- Replaces special characters with **-** (except **0-9**, **a-z**, **.**, and **_**)
- Removes leading and trailing **-$*
- Limits string length to **63** characters
- `<env name>_SLUG_CS`
- Same as `_SLUG` but preserves original case sensitivity
- `<env name>_SLUG_URL` and `<env name>_SLUG_URL_CS`
- Same as their respective base versions (`_SLUG` or `_SLUG_CS`)
- Additionally replaces **.** and **_** with **-**
- Perfect for URL-safe strings
Each output variable maintains consistent formatting rules while serving different use cases, from basic slugification to URL-ready strings.
## Usage
- Slugify a value and store it using a key
```yaml
- uses: rlespinasse/slugify-value@v1.x
with:
key: KEY_NAME
value: value_to_slugify
```
Will make available
- `KEY_NAME`
- `KEY_NAME_SLUG`
- `KEY_NAME_SLUG_CS`
- `KEY_NAME_SLUG_URL`
- `KEY_NAME_SLUG_URL_CS`
- Slugify the value of an environment variable
```yaml
- uses: rlespinasse/slugify-value@v1.x
with:
key: EXISTING_ENV_VAR
```
Will make available
- `EXISTING_ENV_VAR_SLUG`
- `EXISTING_ENV_VAR_SLUG_CS`
- `EXISTING_ENV_VAR_SLUG_URL`
- `EXISTING_ENV_VAR_SLUG_URL_CS`
- Slugify the value of an environment variable with prefix
```yaml
- uses: rlespinasse/slugify-value@v1.x
with:
key: EXISTING_ENV_VAR
prefix: CI_
```
Will make available
- `CI_EXISTING_ENV_VAR`
- `CI_EXISTING_ENV_VAR_SLUG`
- `CI_EXISTING_ENV_VAR_SLUG_CS`
- `CI_EXISTING_ENV_VAR_SLUG_URL`
- `CI_EXISTING_ENV_VAR_SLUG_URL_CS`
- Slugify a value with a different slug length
```yaml
- uses: rlespinasse/slugify-value@v1.x
with:
key: EXISTING_ENV_VAR
slug-maxlength: 80
```
Will produce SLUG variables with a 80-char length
- Slugify a value without length limit
```yaml
- uses: rlespinasse/slugify-value@v1.x
with:
key: EXISTING_ENV_VAR
slug-maxlength: "nolimit"
```
Will produce SLUG variables without limiting the output length
- Slugify a value without publishing the environment variables
```yaml
- uses: rlespinasse/slugify-value@v1.x
with:
key: KEY_NAME
value: value_to_slugify
publish-env: false
```
Will **not** make available
- `KEY_NAME`
- `KEY_NAME_SLUG`
- `KEY_NAME_SLUG_CS`
- `KEY_NAME_SLUG_URL`
- `KEY_NAME_SLUG_URL_CS`
