Remove HTML Tags Before Creating Slug about eloquent-sluggable

[chard1988]

What I've tested so far is listening for creating and updating events on the course model with the code as follows

`
protected static function boot()
{
parent::boot();

/**
 * Listen for the creating event.
 * Clean course_name and set as slug
 */
 static::creating(function ($model) {
     $name = strip_tags($model->course_name);
     $model->setAttribute('slug', Str::slug($name));
 });

 /**
  * Listen for the updating event.
  * Clean course_name and set as slug
  */
  static::updating(function ($model) {
      $name = strip_tags($model->course_name);
      $model->setAttribute('slug', Str::slug($name));
  });

}
`

Is there a better or cleaner way to achieve the same result?

Retracted my code and just used the method.

Hi @chard1988 .. I was going to suggest something similar: create a model method that does the HTML-stripping for you, and then use that as the source. e.g.:

public function sluggable(): array {
  return [
    'slug' => [
      'source' => 'stripped_source'
    ]
  ];
}

public function getStrippedSourceAttribute(): string {
  return strip_tags($this->courseName . ' ' . $this->UUID);
}

Your solution works just as well. Either of those would probably be preferable to linking into the event system.
