What is the use of slug in odoo

What is slug and why it is used. I'm confused with it. Can anyone help me on it. Thanx

 <p><a t-attf-href="/academy/{{ slug(teacher) }}">
     <t t-esc="teacher.name"/></a>
Solution

  • Transform a string to a slug that can be used in a url path.

    Example:(takem from the website tutorial).

    <a t-attf-href="/academy/{{ slug(teacher) }}">
    <t t-esc="teacher.name"/>
</a>

    You can find more details in slug function documentation.

    Transform a string to a slug that can be used in a url path.

    This method will first try to do the job with python-slugify if present.

    Otherwise it will process string by stripping leading and ending spaces,

    converting unicode chars to ascii, lowering all chars and replacing spaces
    and underscore with hyphen "-".
