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。

假设你的模型类有一个title属性，你可以简单地覆盖模型中的to_param方法，就像这样:

def to_param
  title.downcase.gsub(/ /, '-')
end

Railscast的这集有所有的细节。你也可以使用这个来确保标题只包含有效字符:

validates_format_of :title, :with => /^[a-z0-9-]+$/,
                    :message => 'can only contain letters, numbers and hyphens'

如果你正在使用Rails edge，你可以依赖Inflector。参数化-下面是文档中的例子:

  class Person
    def to_param
      "#{id}-#{name.parameterize}"
    end
  end

  @person = Person.find(1)
  # => #<Person id: 1, name: "Donald E. Knuth">

  <%= link_to(@person.name, person_path(@person)) %>
  # => <a href="/person/1-donald-e-knuth">Donald E. Knuth</a>

另外，如果你需要在以前版本的Rails中处理更多的外来字符，比如重音(éphémère)，你可以混合使用PermalinkFu和DiacriticsFu:

DiacriticsFu::escape("éphémère")
=> "ephemere"

DiacriticsFu::escape("räksmörgås")
=> "raksmorgas"

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。

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
}

下面是我的(稍慢，但写起来很有趣)Jeff的代码版本:

public static string URLFriendly(string title)
{
    char? prevRead = null,
        prevWritten = null;

    var seq = 
        from c in title
        let norm = RemapInternationalCharToAscii(char.ToLowerInvariant(c).ToString())[0]
        let keep = char.IsLetterOrDigit(norm)
        where prevRead.HasValue || keep
        let replaced = keep ? norm
            :  prevWritten != '-' ? '-'
            :  (char?)null
        where replaced != null
        let s = replaced + (prevRead == null ? ""
            : norm == '#' && "cf".Contains(prevRead.Value) ? "sharp"
            : norm == '+' ? "plus"
            : "")
        let _ = prevRead = norm
        from written in s
        let __ = prevWritten = written
        select written;

    const int maxlen = 80;  
    return string.Concat(seq.Take(maxlen)).TrimEnd('-');
}

public static string RemapInternationalCharToAscii(string text)
{
    var seq = text.Normalize(NormalizationForm.FormD)
        .Where(c => CharUnicodeInfo.GetUnicodeCategory(c) != UnicodeCategory.NonSpacingMark);

    return string.Concat(seq).Normalize(NormalizationForm.FormC);
}
