Django Unicode Slug how to ?
class NewsModel(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length = 300)
slug = models.CharField(max_length = 300)
content = models.TextField()
def save(self,*args, **kwargs):
if self.slug is None:
self.slug = ???
super(NewsModel, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
def get_absolute_url(self):
return reverse("news_view", kwargs = {"slug" : self.slug, } )
Django comes with a function for that:
In [11]: from django.template.defaultfilters import slugify
In [13]: slugify(u'ç é YUOIYO ___ 89098')
Out[13]: u'c-e-yuoiyo-___-89098'
But really your are better off using the prepopulated_fields parameter and a SlugField.
EDIT:
It seems to be a duplicate question, and the answer proposed in the other OP works quite well. First install unidecode, then:
In [2]: import unidecode
In [3]: unidecode.unidecode(u"Сайн уу")
Out[3]: 'Sain uu
You can pass it to slugify after.
If you are looking for slugs of unicode caractèers, you can use mozilla/unicode-slugify
In [1]: import slugify
In [2]: slugify.slugify(u"Сайн уу")
Out[3]: u'\u0441\u0430\u0439\u043d-\u0443\u0443'
Result is http://example.com/news/сайн-уу
Presuming you want to automatically create a slug based on your NewsModel
's title, you want to use slugify
:
from django.template.defaultfilters import slugify
def save(self,*args, **kwargs):
if self.slug is None:
self.slug = slugify(self.title)
super(NewsModel, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
This is what i am using in my projects. i know this question is for many times ago but i hope my solution help someone.
i should mention that there is a good solution for this in https://github.com/mozilla/unicode-slugify but this is what i use:
import re
import unicodedata
try:
from django.utils.encoding import smart_unicode as smart_text
except ImportError:
from django.utils.encoding import smart_text
def slugify(value):
#underscore, tilde and hyphen are alowed in slugs
value = unicodedata.normalize('NFKC', smart_text(value))
prog = re.compile(r'[^~\w\s-]', flags=re.UNICODE)
value = prog.sub('', value).strip().lower()
return re.sub(r'[-\s]+', '-', value)
