Slug attribute of product data

[unru006]

We are using the slug attribute of the product object to construct the url in the routing like:

  routing: {
    routes: {
      product: {
        paths: ['product/:productCode/:name', 'product/:productCode'],
        paramsMapping: { productCode: 'code', name: 'slug' },
      },
    },
  },

In the default implementation the slug is filled by the ProductNameNormalizer which replaces some special characters.
According to this comment:

  /**
   * The product slug is used to create pretty URL for links to product detail pages.
   *
   * The slug typically avoid spaces (`%20`) or other characters that are encoded in the URL.
   */
  slug?: string;

the slug should encode characters like " or space as well. But sadly, it does not.

Two improvement ideas:

• Add correct url encoding in the default implementation as well.
• Use the slug in the default routing config of product urls, so that no customization is needed.
