Functional Programming - Apply Functional Programming to Convert Strings to URL Slugs

Tell us what’s happening:

I’ve run my solution against the test but I can’t seem to figure out why my Regex usage doesn’t pass.

Describe your issue in detail here.

I’m supposed to use .split(/\s+/) instead of .split(/\W/) but when I use console log I’m getting the right response for the test that won’t pass:

urlSlug(" Winter Is Coming") should return the string winter-is-coming .

console log = “winter-is-coming”

Your code so far

// Only change code below this line
function urlSlug(title) {
return title.toLowerCase().trim().split(/\W/).join("-")


}
// Only change code above this line
urlSlug(" Winter Is Coming");

trim only removes white space from the start and end of the string.

\W will match the leftover space in the middle of the string.

console.log(title.toLowerCase().trim().split(/\W/))

and join('-') will add the - for the space.

You can split on something else or filter the string.
