Sluggable for Laravel

Single- and multi-language slugs for Eloquent: plain string slug columns and JSON locale-map columns, scoped per-locale uniqueness backed by engine-native unique indexes, locale-aware route model binding, validation rules and an optional slug history with 301 redirects. With the defaults, ordinary input slugs exactly like Str::slug(), so adopting it keeps the slugs you already have.

Installation

Requires PHP 8.4 and Laravel 12 or 13. The unique-index DDL needs PostgreSQL 12+, MySQL 8.0.23+ / MariaDB 10.3.3+ or SQLite 3.38+; generation and querying work on every Laravel driver.

composer require roundly-consulting/sluggable-for-laravel

Usage

Add the trait (zero config: slug is generated from name) and the column:

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use RoundlyConsulting\Sluggable\Concerns\HasSlug;
use RoundlyConsulting\Sluggable\Contracts\Sluggable;

final class Clinic extends Model implements Sluggable
{
    use HasSlug;

    protected $fillable = ['name', 'slug'];
}

// in the migration
$table->slug();          // string('slug', 255)
$table->uniqueSlug();    // its unique index

Every save gets a unique slug, and it stays put when the name changes, so links never break:

use RoundlyConsulting\Sluggable\Facades\Slugs;

Clinic::create(['name' => 'Happy Paws'])->slug;      // "happy-paws"
Clinic::create(['name' => 'Happy Paws'])->slug;      // "happy-paws-2"

Route::get('/clinics/{clinic:slug}', ShowClinic::class);

Slugs::regenerate($clinic);                          // recompute from the new name and save
Slugs::slugify('Žltý kôň @ home', language: 'sk');   // "zlty-kon-at-home"
