Using ID as part of the slug about eloquent-sluggable HOT 4 CLOSED

This probably doesn't work because, when you create a new Model, the ID field is null until it's saved.

I bet it works if you re-slug an existing model (i.e. one where the ID already exists).

However, in your case, I would just slug from the title and handle everything else in your routing. Something like:

Route::get('/posts/{id}-{slug}', 'MyController@show')
    ->where('id', '\d+');

Make sense?

Excuse the delay. Finally got back on this project, tried it out and this solution works perfectly.
Thanks for your help.

Hi @cviebrock
I'm interested in doing something similar, but I would rather keep the id and slug within the same piece of the url. In my case I am encoding the model ID to obfuscate the post number. So 'blog/1' would become 'blog/xRgre-Title-of-blog-post'.

As you said, at the time the model is saved there is not yet an ID, so that part is ignored, but if I resluggify it works great. This is what I am currently doing:

$blog->save();
$blog->resluggify();
$blog->save();

My question is, can I do something within Slugify or within my Model to do the second save automatically? I would to just $blog->save() throughout my controllers have something else handle the rest. Maybe using events or binding?

For posterity, here's how I solved this issue. Keep in mind using this will fire off the model saved Event with the slug still null or its previous value. If that doesn't work for your use case you'd just have to add some more logic into the saving method somewhere.

SluggableExtended

trait SluggableExtended
{
    use Sluggable {
    }

    // Overwrite this method
    public static function bootSluggable()
    {
        static::observe(app(SluggableExtendedObserver::class));
    }

    // Added for re-saving after slugged without firing saved event
    public function saveWithoutEvents(array $options=[])
    {
        return static::withoutEvents(function() use ($options) {
            return $this->save($options);
        });
    }
}

SluggableExtendedObserver

class SluggableExtendedObserver extends SluggableObserver
{
    public function saving(Model $model)
    {
        //return $this->generateSlug($model, 'saving');
    }

    public function saved(Model $model)
    {
        $generateReturn = $this->generateSlug($model, 'saved');
        $model->saveWithoutEvents();
        return $generateReturn;
    }
}
