Installation

In order to use this package, you need a Laravel installation which uses Nova.

Composer

composer require benjaminhirsch/nova-slug-field

Usage

Define the following fields in your resource in the fields method:

use Benjaminhirsch\NovaSlugField\Slug;
use Benjaminhirsch\NovaSlugField\TextWithSlug;

...

TextWithSlug::make('Name')
    ->slug('slug'),

Slug::make('Slug'),

Slug with a preview of the generated URL

This will display the full URL including the generated slug as a link below the input field.

use Benjaminhirsch\NovaSlugField\Slug;
use Benjaminhirsch\NovaSlugField\TextWithSlug;

...

TextWithSlug::make('Name')
    ->slug('slug'),

Slug::make('Slug')
    ->showUrlPreview('http://www.foo.bar'),

Slug with disabled auto update

This is especially usefull, when you are updating the field which the slug belongs to and don't wan't the slug to be updated automatically.

use Benjaminhirsch\NovaSlugField\Slug;
use Benjaminhirsch\NovaSlugField\TextWithSlug;

...

TextWithSlug::make('Name')
    ->slug('slug'),

Slug::make('Slug')
    ->disableAutoUpdateWhenUpdating(),

This first field definition is the field which you want to create the slug of. The second field definition represents the slugified version. With the ->slug('name') method, you define the name of the field which holds the slug. It is possible to create multiple slugs on a single resource, just add more field definitions. Every TextWithSlug field needs a corresponding Slug field.
