I have been working on an application that uses the elixir-uuid library and I have written my own code to handle slug conversion. I thought I would put it in this library as another format that the user could get a UUID in and thus make use of it.

Added the ability to render UUIDs as a :slug, A slug is a URL safe Base 64 encoded UUID with the padded == stripped which can be used on a URL.

Is this repository being maintained anymore?

[zyro]

@kraythen It is, but I have very limited time to spend on it - I'll go through this PR as soon as I can. Until then looks like Travis is complaining, any ideas why?

[ghost]

No idea on the complaints, it builds and runs and tests fine. If you want I can help you maintain.

[ghost]

Any chance of getting this merged?

[zyro]

As soon as I can find a spare moment to figure out the CI failure this PR introduces.

[ghost]

Greetings, any chance of this getting added ?

[ghost]

Any update on integrating this change ? Is this lib active ?

[ghost]

ping again ?

[zyro]

@kraythen Yes I'm still maintaining this as best I can, but I haven't had time to look into the CI failure yet.

[ghost]

the CI build is running on 1.3.4 and failing tests.

[ghost]

I have fixed the CI problems. The Elixir version and OTP version were the problem. Can we get a merge and publish?

[zyro]

Nothing I can see from the changes would require a version bump straight to Elixir 1.7. What am I missing?

[ghost]

I dont know why but before this build the code had "codepoint" invalid character failures on characters that werent even there. Bumping the elixir version fixed it. Question would be is if there is any reason to NOT bump the elixir version. If so then we have to find the right version above 1.3 where it works but not too high.

[zyro]

Ideally I want to target the lowest version possible to ensure this is as widely usable as possible. I'll merge as is and experiment with lower versions at some point before I tag a new version.

@kraythen Thanks!
