Change url from :id to :slug (custom uid field)

[YannickMol]

Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone would be able to help out with changing the :id in the url of the frontend for the restaurants to a custom field that is also unique (let's say slug). This in order to prettify the urls.

Suggested change in the containers/App/index.js file from:
<Route path="/:id/:content" component={RestaurantPage} exact />
to
<Route path="/:slug/:content" component={RestaurantPage} exact />

Any help here would be appreciated!

Regards,
Yannick

This may be a very long path what you can do is send a post request instead of a get request everytime the category is requested and return the response to the react api context, the items content should then automatically update when it gets new props, essentially turning your application to a SPA (Single page application), although this is a very long approach
