Get menu item slug

Question

I use custom menus and I’d like to get the menu item slugs. Is that possible?

// Get the nav menu based on $menu_name (same as 'theme_location' or 'menu' arg to wp_nav_menu)
// This code based on wp_nav_menu's code to get Menu ID from menu slug

$menu_name = 'main-menu';

if ( ( $locations = get_nav_menu_locations() ) && isset( $locations[ $menu_name ] ) ) {

    $menu = wp_get_nav_menu_object( $locations[ $menu_name ] );
    $menu_items = wp_get_nav_menu_items($menu->term_id);
    $menu_list = '<ul id="menu-' . $menu_name . '">';

        foreach ( (array) $menu_items as $key => $menu_item ) {
            $title = $menu_item->title;
            $url = $menu_item->url;
            $menu_list .= '<li><a href="#' . $url . '">' . $title . '</a></li>';
        }

    $menu_list .= '</ul>';

}

echo $menu_list;

It’s possible to grab the slug with $menu_item->post_name;.
