This package can create a URL slug for a Laravel model class.

It provides a helper function that takes as parameters a Laravel model class object or a string and the name of the model title column.

The function computes a slug string that can be used as part of the URL to generate a human-readable URL for pages that show views of model class object information.

Save 'slugify_model.php' in your 'app/Helpers/' directory and update your composer.json to reference and autoload the helper function.

Example

<?php

/* Usage Example: Post */

$validated = $request->validated();

// Creating a New Model
$validated['slug'] = slugify_model(Post::class, $validated['title']);
// return: this-is-an-example-of-slugify
// if slug already exists: this-is-an-example-of-slugify-9rkt6

Post::create($validated);


// Updating a Model
$validated['slug'] = slugify_model(
                        model: Post::class,
                        columnOrTitle: $validated['title'],
                        ignore: $post->slug
                    );
// return: this-is-an-updated-example-of-slugify
// if slug already exists: this-is-an-updated-example-of-slugify-jToVK
$post->update($validated);



// On-the-fly Slugify :P

// 1. Here, 'title' Column in 'posts' table will be slugified
// and 'slug' column will be used to verify if it exists.
$slug = slugify_model($post, 'title');
// return: on-the-fly-slugify

// 2. Here, custom slug column is used to verify if it exists.
$slug = slugify_model($post, 'title', slugColumn: 'shortname');
// return: on-the-fly-slugify

// 3. Ignoring a Slug when ClassName::class is provided as first param
$slug = slugify_model(Post::class, $validated['title'], $post->slug);
