Upgrading

Upgrading from 4.2 to 4.3

• The signature for scopeFindSimilarSlugs() dropped the unused $model parameter:

  - public function scopeFindSimilarSlugs(Builder $query, Model $model, $attribute, $config, $slug)
  + public function scopeFindSimilarSlugs(Builder $query, $attribute, $config, $slug)

  If you use this scope in your application, then remove the first argument passed to the scope.

Upgrading from 3.x to 4.x

Configuration Changes

The configuration array has changed slightly between versions:

• In your config/sluggable.php configuration file, remove the save_to
  parameter as it is no longer used. Rename build_from to source, and convert the other parameters from snake_case to lower camelCase (e.g. include_trashed -> includeTrashed).
• Your models no longer need to implement Cviebrock\EloquentSluggable\SluggableInterface.
• Your models should now use the trait Cviebrock\EloquentSluggable\Sluggable instead of Cviebrock\EloquentSluggable\SluggableTrait, which no longer exists.
• Per-model configuration has been moved from a protect property into a protected method, and the configuration array is now keyed with the attribute field where the slug is stored (i.e. the previous value of the save_to configuration.
• The service provider name has changed, so update the entry in your project's config/app.php from Cviebrock\EloquentSluggable\SluggableServiceProvider::class to Cviebrock\EloquentSluggable\ServiceProvider::class.

Version 3.x Configuration Example:

use Cviebrock\EloquentSluggable\SluggableInterface;
use Cviebrock\EloquentSluggable\SluggableTrait;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Post extends Model implements SluggableInterface
{
    use SluggableTrait;

    /**
     * Sluggable configuration.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $sluggable = [
        'build_from'      => 'title',
        'save_to'         => 'slug',
        'separator'       => '-',
        'include_trashed' => true,
    ];
}

Converted Version 4.x Example:

use Cviebrock\EloquentSluggable\Sluggable;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Post extends Model
{
    use Sluggable;

    /**
     * Sluggable configuration.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    public function sluggable() {
        return [
            'slug' => [
                'source'         => 'title',
                'separator'      => '-',
                'includeTrashed' => true,
            ]
        ];
    }
}

Other Changes

Artisan Command

The php artisan sluggable:table command has been deprecated so you will need to make and run your own migrations if you need to add columns to your database tables to store slug values.

Route Model Binding

Route Model Binding has been removed from the package. You are encouraged to handle this yourself in the model's getRouteKeyName method, or in a RootServiceProvider::boot method as described in the Laravel Documentation.

See ROUTE-MODEL-BINDING.md for details.

Query Scopes

Because the package now supports multiple slugs per model, the findBySlug() and other findBy* methods have been removed from the package by default, as has the whereSlug() query scope. You should just update your code to use standard Eloquent methods to find your models, specifying which fields to search by:

// OLD
$posts = Post::whereSlug($input)->get();
$post = Post::findBySlug($input);
$post = Post::findBySlugOrFail($input);
$post = Post::findBySlugOrIdOrFail($input);

// NEW
$posts = Post::where('slug',$input)->get();
$post = Post::where('slug', $input)->first();
$post = Post::where('slug', $input)->firstOrFail();
$post = Post::where('slug', $input)->first() ?: Post::findOrFail((int)$input);

Alternatively, your model can use the SluggableScopeHelpers trait.
See SCOPE-HELPERS.md for details.
