Requires

• composer/installers: ~1.0

Unknown License

• David Yell

README

In most web apps you will be using a slug to uniquely identify an article or item from the database. This gives you a clean way to access the item in the url. However, in CSS classes are not allowed to start with a number. This is a simple helper which will convert any slug which begins with a number into a safe string which can be used for a css class.

Requirements

• PHP 5.3.0+
• Intl

Example

Article
  Title: "99 Ways to solve a puzzle"
  Slug: "99-ways-to-solve-a-puzzle"
  Unsafe css: "99-ways-to-solve-a-puzzle"
  Safe: "ninety-nine-ways-to-solve-a-puzzle"

Usage

You will need to put the code in your app/Plugin/CssSafeSlug, and load the plugin in your app/bootstrap.php using CakePlugin::load('CssSafeSlug');.

It is also available on Composer. composer require davidyell/css-safe-slug

You can call the helper in your view.

<div class="article <?php echo $this->CssClass->convert($article['Article']['slug']);?>">

Handy extras

I couple this up with the CakeDC/Utils::Sluggable behaviour.
