Laravel Slug Generator is a simple and user-friendly package that helps automatically create unique slugs in Laravel projects. This package generates slugs from titles, which can then be used in URLs and for SEO purposes. It offers the ability to limit the length of the slugs, use custom separators, and automatically append numbers to avoid conflicts with existing slugs in the database. This package streamlines the slug generation process, making it easy and efficient for your Laravel application.

Features

Publishing Configuration

To publish the configuration file, run the following command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Sarowar\LaravelSlugGenerator\LaravelSlugServiceProvider"

• This will create a configuration file named sarowar-slug-generator.php in the config directory of your Laravel application. You can customize the settings in this file according to your requirements.

Usage

Here’s a basic example of how to use the slug generator:

use Sarowar\LaravelSlugGenerator\LaravelSlug;

// Create an instance of the slug generator
$slugGenerator = new LaravelSlug();

// Generate a unique slug
$slug = $slugGenerator->generate($model, $title, $field);

In this example:

• $model: The model class from which the slug will be generated.
• $title: The value that will be used to generate the slug.
• $field: The field name in the model that will be used to create the slug.

Configuration

You can customize the slug generation by modifying the config/sarowar-slug-generator.php file. Options include:

• separator: The character to use between words in the slug (default is -).
• max_length: The maximum length of the generated slug (default is 100).
