Create slug from string in Javascript

slugify.js

function string_to_slug (str) {
    str = str.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, ''); // trim
    str = str.toLowerCase();
  
    // remove accents, swap ñ for n, etc
    var from = "àáäâèéëêìíïîòóöôùúüûñç·/_,:;";
    var to   = "aaaaeeeeiiiioooouuuunc------";
    for (var i=0, l=from.length ; i<l ; i++) {
        str = str.replace(new RegExp(from.charAt(i), 'g'), to.charAt(i));
    }

    str = str.replace(/[^a-z0-9 -]/g, '') // remove invalid chars
        .replace(/\s+/g, '-') // collapse whitespace and replace by -
        .replace(/-+/g, '-'); // collapse dashes

    return str;
}

AFAIK your version, which looks good, is missing the following line below the normalize one:
replace( /[\u0300-\u036f]/g, '' )

The normalize() function splits each accented character in two: the base character, and its accent.
The subsequent replace() line deletes all the accents, which happen to be all in the \u03xx UNICODE block.
Removing the accents requires these two steps.

I got the info for my slugify version from June 6, 2020 from the MDN docs:

Works! thanks.
