Slugify for Pivotal

For a given pivotal card that's open, create an appropriate github branch name for it - including the id and ticket title.

How To Use

This code is used as a javascript bookmarklet. It is a bookmark in your browser that executes some javascript code, instead of navigating you to a new page.

1. Copy the code block in slugit.js
2. Create a new bookmark, maybe on your Bookmarks Bar for quick access.
3. Name it something (like slugit)
4. Paste the code block into Location (or URL).
5. While on PivotalTracker with a card open, click the bookmark. If there are multiple cards open, this will read from the first one jQuery finds (probably the top left one).

slugit.js

javascript:(function(){
  function slugify(text) {
    return text.toString().toLowerCase()
      .replace(/\s+/g, '-')
      .replace(/[^\w\-]+/g, '')
      .replace(/\-\-+/g, '-')
      .replace(/^-+/, '')
      .replace(/-+$/, '');
  }
  try{
    id = $('.edit.details').find('input.id')[0].value;
    ticket_title = $('.edit.details').find('[name="story[name]"]')[0].innerHTML;
    slug = slugify(id + "-" + ticket_title);
    prompt("Here is your slugified title for the first opened pivotal card.", slug);
  }
  catch(e){
    alert("You are not on a pivotal page with a ticket open.");
  }
})();
