martinbean / laravel-sluggable-trait

A trait you can apply to Eloquent models to have slugs automatically generated on save.

Hi! 👋

I’m Martin Bean, an experienced software engineer and web developer based in the UK. I currently lead of a team of developers at a product company called OpenPlay. Prior to this, I worked at Pfizer, first as part of their DevOps team before moving into a tech lead role, where I directed two company-wide transformation and consolidation projects.

Outside of my full time role I run Your Fight Site. Under its banner I operate two services targeting professional wrestling and combat sport promoters: a website builder called Your Fight Site CMS, and a video on demand marketplace called Your Fight Site VOD.

In my spare time I dabble in reverse engineering video games, specifically PlayStation® 1. This has been a hugely interesting endeavour for me, going from knowing little about computer architecture and hardware to learning concepts like CPUs and registers, as well as assembly and the C programming language, and also just how video games were actually made in that time period.

I’m a lifelong learner with a thirst for knowledge, and enjoy sharing this knowledge. I’m active in communities such as Stack Overflow and the Laracasts forums, and I now share this knowledge in my current role as a team lead.

laravel-sluggable-trait's Issues

Avoid duplicates unique entry

Hello and thank you for this very cool package !!

I'm not sure what is the best way to do it, but it would be pretty cool if we can check if the generated Slug already exists in the Database.
Mainly because the Slug column is often unique.

So if I save two entries in the database with the same title, the second entry will have a different slug, like:

my-cool-article
my-cool-article-1

What do you think ?

Compatibility with laravel 5

Is it compatible with Laravel 5.1?

Feature request

Hi. Thank you for the trait it works great.

I want it to work when updating a model too not just in save.

I override the bootSluggable on my model and add the code below to the method. It works fine but I have to do this manually on every model that i want to update the slug.

static::updating(function (Model $model)
{
$model->setSlug(Str::slug($model->getSluggableString()));
});

Thank you.

Sorry for my bad english
