Product Code Normalizer

Build a product code normalizer that converts product names into standardized codes for an e-commerce inventory system. The system needs to handle special symbols commonly found in product names and produce consistent, URL-safe identifiers.

Requirements

Your solution must:

1. Convert product names to lowercase, URL-safe slugs
2. Apply custom character mappings before any other transformations:
   • Convert '@' to 'at'
   • Convert '$' to 'dollar'
   • Convert '%' to 'percent'
   • Convert '+' to 'plus'
   • Convert '#' to 'number'
3. Use hyphens as separators between words
4. Export a function normalizeProductCode(productName: string): string that takes a product name and returns the normalized code

Test Cases

• normalizeProductCode("Coffee @ Home") returns "coffee-at-home" @test
• normalizeProductCode("Discount $50") returns "discount-dollar-50" @test
• normalizeProductCode("Widget+Tool") returns "widget-plus-tool" @test
• normalizeProductCode("Product #123") returns "product-number-123" @test
• normalizeProductCode("Save 25%!") returns "save-25-percent" @test
