defmodule SanitizeFile do
    @moduledoc """
        Sanitization for Elixir. This module helps you to clean up your filename for example.
        SanitizeFile takes a string and strip and normalizes it with :nfd, keeps number and non accent character.

        You can use iconv if you want to (SanitizeFile.sanitize(string,:iconv))

        ## Examples

          iex(1)> SanitizeFile.sanitize(" fd_fdsf-àç   à) 456454ç)'ç.jpg")

          "fd_fdsfac-a-456454cc.jpg"
