Case-sensitivity and slug uniqueness about eloquent-sluggable HOT 2 CLOSED

I think if you are using this package on a system were the database sensitivity is important, then you should take that into account when defining the method used to generate slugs.

By default, the package uses the cocur/slugify method, which should convert everything to lowercase. I see you are coming into this with a bunch of pre-existing slugs that aren't explicitly lowercase, so I think the easiest option is to redefine the slugEngineOptions in the configuration so that slugs aren't lowercased by default, e.g.:

public function sluggable(): array
{
    return [
        'slug' => [
            'source' => 'title',
            'slugEngineOptions' => [
                'lowercase' => false
            ]
        ]
    ];
}

Otherwise, I think you would need to either convert all your existing slugs to lowercase (if that's how new slugs will be generated), or create a custom method in the configuration that returns slugged strings in a mixed-case format.

Make sense?

Happy New Year, stay healthy and happy. Thank you for your input. The easiest solution for me was to lowercase all slugs (they are used for url generation, so absolutely makes sense) and I left the configuration unchanged.
