No retroactive way to create slugs

[truca]

I had a populated database when i started using your package (thank you for it, it's great). It works great, but my old docs dont have a slug and i can't find a way to trigger the slug creation for them.

I think what you are looking for is alwaysRecreate option. You just need to ping all the docs which don't have it.

I tried it (set it to true and then used find), but it didn't work. What do you mean by "ping"?

Fetch the document, mark the slug depending field modified using doc.markModified and then save it.

Thank you very much!

For future cases:

I created this function to reatroactively generate the slugs for previous documents. (you have to set the alwaysRecreate parameter to true). All my models are inside of the "Models" object and their key is the model's name

const slug = (model) => {
  Models[model.name].find({}, (err, elements) => {
    if(!err){
      elements.forEach((element) => {
        element.markModified(model.attribute)
        element.save()
      })
    }
  })
}

Example calling(name is the model, attribute is the model's attribute that defines the slug): slug({name: "country", attribute: "name"})
