I want to auto-generate slug when user input the title.
<div class="form-group">
<label for="name">Title of News</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="name" name="name"
placeholder="Enter your title of news"
value="@if(isset($news->name)){{ old('name', $news->name) }}@else{{old('name')}}@endif">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="slug">Slug</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="slug" name="slug"
placeholder="slug"
{{!! isFieldSlugAutoGenerator($dataType, $dataTypeContent, "slug") !!}}
value="@if(isset($news->name)){{ str_slug($news->name, '-') }}@endif">
</div>
<script>
$('document').ready(function () {
$('#slug').slugify();
});
</script>
Problem is:
It does not change real time when I enter text in Title of news
.
Because it does not change real time, it doesn't save slug correctly.
Example:
When I input in fields Title
of news: Apple iPhone 7
-> click button Save. The fields slug
not contain any values.
Next, I change Title
of news to Apple have plan release IOS 11
-> click button Save. The fields slug
in database change to Apple iPhone 7
.
You can see at gif:
Your controller :
function store(Request $request) {
$this->validate($request, [
'title' => 'required'
]);
$news = News::create($request->all());
$news->slug = str_slug($request->title, '-');
$news->save();
return redirect()->back();
}
Your view :
<div class="form-group">
<label for="name">Title of News</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="name" name="name"
placeholder="Enter your title of news"
value="@if(isset($news->name)){{ old('name', $news->name) }}@else{{old('name')}}@endif">
</div>
<p>The slug will be <span id="slug"></span></p>
<script>
$('document').ready(function () {
$(document).on('change', 'input#name', function() {
var slug = slugify($(this).val());
$('span#slug').text(slug);
});
});
function slugify(text)
{
return text.toString().toLowerCase()
.replace(/\s+/g, '-') // Replace spaces with -
.replace(/[^\w\-]+/g, '') // Remove all non-word chars
.replace(/\-\-+/g, '-') // Replace multiple - with single -
.replace(/^-+/, '') // Trim - from start of text
.replace(/-+$/, ''); // Trim - from end of text
}
</script>
I didn't try it, but should work. You probably need to adapt to your system, but the idea is here.
