Shopify.handleize = function (str) {
    str = str.toLowerCase();

    var toReplace = ['"', "'", "\\", "(", ")", "[", "]"];
    
    // For the old browsers
    for (var i = 0; i < toReplace.length; ++i) {
        str = str.replace(toReplace[i], "");
    }

    str = str.replace(/\W+/g, "-");

    if (str.charAt(str.length - 1) == "-") {
        str = str.replace(/-+\z/, "");
    }

    if (str.charAt(0) == "-") {
        str = str.replace(/\A-+/, "");
    }

    return str
};

Here a versión of this with normalization of accents and other language especial characters:
