lib/utils/slug

Provides utility functions for generating and validating URL-friendly slugs.

This module contains helpers for creating unique, SEO-friendly slugs from a given string (like a title or name). It includes functionality to:

• Sanitize a string into a basic slug format.
• Check for the uniqueness of a slug within a specific collection to prevent duplicates.
• Generate a unique slug by appending a random suffix if a conflict is found.
• A factory function (createSlugHook) to easily integrate this logic into Payload CMS collection field hooks.
