Updating your Eloquent Models

Updating your Eloquent Models

Your models should use the Sluggable trait, which has an abstract method sluggable() that you need to define. This is where any model-specific configuration is set (see Configuration below for details):

use Cviebrock\EloquentSluggable\Sluggable;

class Post extends Model
{
    use Sluggable;

    /**
     * Return the sluggable configuration array for this model.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function sluggable()
    {
        return [
            'slug' => [
                'source' => 'title'
            ]
        ];
    }

}

Of course, your model and database will need a column in which to store the slug. You will need to add this manually via a migration.

(Previous versions of the package included an artisan sluggable:table command to assist you. This has been deprecated because it's easy enough to generate your own migrations with artisan make:migration).

That's it ... your model is now "sluggable"!
