dot "." is legal in a URL but it is replaced with "-" about slugify HOT 8 CLOSED

A setting with characters to preserve would be great!

from slugify.

There are lots of characters that are allowed in a URL that are replaced by a dash. That's how slugification usually works.

We could potentially add an option with an array of characters to preserve, but as a user, I think version3-1 is perfectly fine.

As I understands, slugify should work nice with filenames, and having a dot in the filename can change how it is opened by default

I also encountered this issue during migration of a blog. In a previous system we used «underscore» as valid part of slug. And now in Gatsby it's impossible to save previous structure/paths. Would be really awesome to see this improvement.

@sindresorhus If you okay with a proposal to add an option to preserve some characters, I can make a PR

p.s. oh crap, just noticed that you're on a vacation, sry :)

PR welcome. You can use 2aa5659 as an example of what's expected of the PR.

Also I noticed, that Gatsby uses v.1.x.x of slugify, so this change probably won't benefit me 😅. But I will try anyway. Thank you

Hello @sindresorhus . Is it still perhaps possible to create a function that preserves a dot "." in the url? :/
