# filenamify

> Convert a string to a valid safe filename
|
|
|
|
On Unix-like systems, `/` is reserved. On Windows, [`<>:"/\|?*`](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247%28VS.85%29#naming_conventions) along with trailing periods are reserved.
|
|
|
|

$ npm install filenamify

```
|
|
|

## API
|
|
|
|
### filenamify(string, options?)

|
Convert a string to a valid filename.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
Default: `'!'`
|
|
|
|
String to use as replacement for reserved filename characters.
|
|
|
|
Cannot contain: `<` `>` `:` `"` `/` `\` `|` `?` `*`
|
|
|
|
##### maxLength
|
|

|
|
Default: `100`

Truncate the filename to the given length.
|
|
|
|
Systems generally allow up to 255 characters, but we default to 100 for usability reasons.
|
|
|
|
## Browser-only import
|
|
|
|
You can also import `filenamify/browser`, which only imports `filenamify` and not `filenamify.path`, which relies on `path` being available or polyfilled. Importing `filenamify` this way is therefore useful when it is shipped using `webpack` or similar tools, and if `filenamify.path` is not needed.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const filenamify = require('filenamify/browser');
|
|
|
|
filenamify('<foo/bar>');
|
|
//=> 'foo!bar'
|
|
```
