Overview
A Dart package that converts strings into URL-friendly slugs by removing special characters, spaces, and accents, then normalizing the result. Ideal for generating clean identifiers for URLs, filenames, database IDs, and other use cases requiring standardized text. The package supports multiple platforms including Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux, ensuring consistent behavior across environments. It is lightweight and easy to integrate via Flutter's pub package manager.
