This laravel livewire create slug example, we will install a brand new laravel app, install and set up the livewire plugin, then create model, view and controllers. How to Generate Slug in Laravel with Livewire Package. So let's start following example. Step 1 - Create Fresh Laravel Project

Don’t forget to get inside the app’s root:

cd Blog

Insert Database Details in ENV

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1

Step 2 - Add Livewire Library in Laravel Its easy to install the livewire package into the laravel; you have to open the terminal, type command, and execute to begin the installation process.

composer require livewire/livewire

Step 3 - Add Eloquent Sluggable Package in Laravel In the further step, you have to install the eloquent sluggable package, and this library will help you generate slug in laravel. Make sure to run the following command to install the plugin.

composer require cviebrock/eloquent-sluggable

Step 4 - Publish Sluggable Config File Now laravel slug package has been installed; now, you have to register this package for starting the creation of slugs as per the laravel eloquent models. Let us execute the command to publish the configuration file in laravel.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Cviebrock\EloquentSluggable\ServiceProvider"

Step 5 - Create Model and Migrations Let us create a migration and model files; theoretically, these files help in creating the table into the database. Run the below command to generate a migration and model simultaneously.

php artisan make:model Blog -m

Open app/Models/Blog.php and add the values in the newly generated models file.

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

use Cviebrock\EloquentSluggable\Sluggable;

class Blog extends Model
{
    use HasFactory,Sluggable;

    protected $fillable = [
        'blog_title',
        'slug',
    ];

    public function sluggable(): array
    {
        return [
            'slug' => [
                'source' => 'blog_title'
            ]
        ];
    }
}

Open database/migrations/create_blogs_table.php and insert the table properties within the migration file.

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

class CreateBlogsTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('blogs', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->string('blog_title');
            $table->string('slug');            
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('blogs');
    }
}

Now, go to console, type the recommended command to run the migration.

php artisan migrate

Step 6 - Create Route in Laravel Open the routes/web.php in this file you need to define the route.

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/

Route::view('/generate-slug', 'welcome');

Step 7 - Set Up Livewire Component Next, you have to execute the following command to generate the livewire blog components.

php artisan make:livewire Blogs

Eventually, the suggested command created two files on the following path:

app/Http/Livewire/Blogs.php
resources/views/livewire/blogs.blade.php

Open and update the below code in app/Http/Livewire/Blogs.php file:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Livewire;

use Livewire\Component;
use App\Models\Blog;
use \Cviebrock\EloquentSluggable\Services\SlugService;

class Blogs extends Component
{
    public $blog_title;
    public $slug;

    public function render()
    {
        $blogs = Blog::latest()->take(7)->get();
        return view('livewire.blogs', compact('blogs'));
    }

    public function generateSlug()
    {
        $this->slug = SlugService::createSlug(Blog::class, 'slug', $this->blog_title);
    }

    public function store()
    {
        Blog::create([
            'blog_title' => $this->blog_title,
            'slug'  => $this->slug
        ]);
    }    
}

Open and update the below code in resources/views/livewire/blogs.php file:

<div>
    <form wire:submit.prevent="store">
        <div class="form-group">
            <label for="blog_title" class="mb-2"><strong>Blog Title</strong></label>
            <div class="col-md-12 mb-3">
                <input wire:model="blog_title" type="text" class="form-control @error('blog_title') is-invalid @enderror" autofocus>

                @error('blog_title')
                <span class="invalid-feedback">
                    <strong>{{ $message }}</strong>
                </span>
                @enderror

            </div>
        </div>

        <div class="col-md-12">
            <div class="d-grid">
                <button type="submit" class="btn btn-dark">
                    Create Blog
                </button>
            </div>
        </div>
    </form>
    <table class="table mt-5">
        <thead>
            <tr>
                <th>Blog Title</th>
                <th>Slug</th>
            </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
            @foreach ($blogs as $blog)
            <tr>
                <td>{{ $blog->blog_title }}</td>
                <td>{{ $blog->slug }}</td>
            </tr>
            @endforeach
        </tbody>
    </table>
</div>

Step 8 - Set Up Blade View In the last step, make sure to head over to resources/views/livewire/ folder, you have to create the welcome.blade.php file in this directory and after that insert all the given below code in the suggested file: Update resources/views/livewire/welcome.blade.php file.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="{{ str_replace('_', '-', app()->getLocale()) }}">

<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Implement Slug in Laravel Livewire Example - Itwebtuts</title>
    <link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.0.0-beta1/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

<body>
    <div class="container mt-3">
        @if (session()->has('message'))
        <div class="alert alert-primay">
            {{ session('message') }}
        </div>
        @endif
        @livewire('blogs')
