Some time duplicate slug generates and gives errors constraint violation: 1062 Duplicate entry.

Thank you for the info, by the way you can use the same exact ajax request, while editing the slug manually, using the jquery events like keyUp, blue or anything else. no need to hit the submit button for check. I think it will be more efficient.

Hi, I have a question. Why we need to use package to generate a slug? We can easily achieve this by using jquery. We just need jquery function which will take title text and replace all the special characters, symbols with "-" . It will be easier than using a separate package, I guess.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Can this work properly with non-latin strings ?

Nice! Can we use this same principle for real time validation? What would it be better to do real time validation with livewire?

[ajithlal]

But we can use laravel's string helper class to generate slugs using slug() function Str::slug(). They why we need this third party library?

For anyone who didn't want to use the external package I've made this solution:
I'm using it in "checkSlug" Function..

public function checkSlug(Request $request)
{
$slug =
if (Post::where('slug', $slug)->exists()) {
$slug = $slug . '-' . Str::random(2);
return response()->json(['slug' => $slug]);
} else {
return response()->json(['slug' => $slug]);
}
}

Happy Coding ^_^

Why do you still use Jquery? We're in the middle of 2020!

I have this question!
How to open a page in a browser without a category?
Now all pages are opened (/category/post), but how to do this (/post)?
Here is how I wrote
web.php
Route::get('{post_slug}', [App\Http\Controllers\Frontend\FrontendController::class, 'viewsPost']);
FrontendController.php
public function viewsPost(string $post_slug) {
$post = Post::where('status', '0')->get();
return view('frontend.post.views', compact('post'));
}

Came across this tutorial, just if some one don`t want to use extra package, I`m using mutator on model, for example Product model:

public function setSlugAttribute($value)
{
if(!$value) {
$slug =

if(Product::where('slug', $slug)->exists())
{
$i = 0;
do
{
$i++;
$slug_result = $slug.'-'.$i;
} while (Product::where('slug', $slug_result)->exists());
} else {
$slug_result = $slug;
}
$this->attributes['slug'] = $slug_result;
} else {
$this->attributes['slug'] = $value;
}
}


maybe not super optimized code, but does the trick.
