I would like to add slug titles in Bloggy, but redirects are forced on form.params.id

[vegax87]

I have tried to use python-slugify>=4.0.0 in order to create SEO-friendly urls in bloggy (for example /post/<str:slug> instead of /post/<int:pid> ) and I've also added slug = slugify(title) under Post Model, but I noticed some issues: 1) slug doesn't appear as column in the database because it recognizes only Fields such as Field.text() and so on 2) when I replaced all pid references to slug and when I created a /new post, it forces me to redirect on form.params.id otherwise it doesn't work

@vegax87 ok, let's try to have some order:

• if you want to use the slug then you need to add the relevant column in the Post model
• if you want to automatically compute the slug based on another field's value, you can use computed fields
• if you change the field to be used to load post, you need to change the selection in the relative route

Practically speaking, update the Post model:

from emmett.orm import compute

class Post(Model):
    slug = Field.string()

    @compute('slug')
    def compute_slug(self, row):
        return your_slug_method(row.title)

update the creation form:

async def new_post():
    form = await Post.form()
    if form.accepted:
        redirect(url('one', Post.get(form.params.id).slug))
    return dict(form=form)

update the get route:

@app.route("/post/<str:slug>")
async def one(slug):
    post = Post.get(slug=slug)

Hope is intelligible :)
