🛠 Usage

1. Basic Usage

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Sharifuddin\LaravelSmartAutoSlug\Traits\SmartAutoSlug;

class Post extends Model
{
use SmartAutoSlug;

    protected $fillable = ['title', 'content'];

}

2. Custom Configuration

class Post extends Model
{
    use SmartAutoSlug;

    protected $slugField = 'url_slug'; // Default: 'slug'
    protected $slugSourceField = 'title'; // Default: 'name'

    protected $fillable = ['title', 'content', 'url_slug'];
}

Examples

// Creating posts with automatic slugs
$post1 = Post::create(['title' => 'My First Post']);
echo $post1->slug; // Output: "my-first-post"

$post2 = Post::create(['title' => 'My First Post']);
echo $post2->slug; // Output: "my-first-post-1"

// Slugs update when titles change
$post1->update(['title' => 'Updated Post Title']);
echo $post1->slug; // Output: "updated-post-title"

Manual Slug Regeneration

$post = Post::find(1);
$post->title = 'Completely New Title';
$post->regenerateSlug(); // Manually regenerate slug
$post->save();

🔧 Customization

Publish the configuration file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=smart-auto-slug-config

The trait ensures uniqueness by checking existing slugs and appending a numeric suffix if necessary.
