EasySlug (Laravel Package)

Quick start

EasySlug provides a flexible way to create slugs. It is compatible with both Laravel4 as well as Laravel5

Installation

In order to install EasySlug, just add

"easy-slug/easy-slug": "2.0.*"

to your composer.json. Then run composer install or composer update.

Then in your config/app.php add

'EasySlug\EasySlug\EasySlugServiceProvider',

in the providers array and

'EasySlug' => 'EasySlug\EasySlug\EasySlugFacade'

to the aliases array.

Simple Slug with validation from database

You can make a simple slug with DB validation using following code

<?php

use EasySlug\EasySlug\EasySlugFacade as EasySlug;

/**
 * @param1            => The string to be slugged
 * @param2            => The table name where slug is stored
 * @param3 (Optional) => The column name of slug. If not specified, by default "slug" is considered
 * @param4 (Optional) => The separator of slug. If not specified, by default "-" is taken
 */

EasySlug::generateUniqueSlug('Your String', 'table name', $column = "slug", $separator = '-')

This function looks for similar slugs in the table/column name specified in parameters. If slugs with similar pattern are found it appends numeric digits at the end of slug as follows :

your-string
your-string-2
your-string-3
your-string-4

Simple Slug without database validation

You can also make a simple slug with string as a input

<?php

use EasySlug\EasySlug\EasySlugFacade as EasySlug;

EasySlug::generateSlug('Your String', $separator = '-')
