==== Monkey Patching String

class String
def slugify
  returning self.downcase.gsub(/'/, '').gsub(/[^a-z0-9]+/, '-') do |slug|
    slug.chop! if slug.last == '-'
  end
end
end

==== In a model, or wherever def to_param # Don't need the id here if we're looking up the model by the stored slug. "#{id} #{title}".slugify end
