New Features
- What feature(s) did you add / how I implemented?
Added a helper function to generate a random slug of the formdkfiedk59dlskdjfiwith the ability to choose a length and a charset. The function uses therandomlibrary, andrandom.SystemRandom()guarantees a random slug. We need to generate urls to access certain pages in our applications, and we wanted urls of the form/url/thing/dkaldkdfoielai29fj/.This PR allows us to import our function anywhere in our Django codebase.

New Projects
- What is the project about?
This project is a collection of mostly string helper functions that reduce code duplication and localizes logic. We do a lot of string parsing and processing, and we found that over time we were writing a lot of little helper functions to do our jobs. Abstracting out that logic into a seperate repo is a more maintainable long term solution. - Technology Stack
Briefly list the used technologies and languages and other technical requirements.
The only technology here is Python - Roadmap
I'd like to make this repo more accessible to the rest of the open source community by adding more docstrings and general documentation, which would include a list of all helper functions available in the library. - How to contribute?
Anyone can reach out to me via github, twitter (@jmares93), or [email protected].
