```
'providers' => [
    // ...
    Sufian\SlugHelper\SlugHelperServiceProvider::class,
    // ...

    // ...
])->toArray(),
```

Use from Controller
-------------------

[](#use-from-controller)

#### Import first the UniqueSlug facade

[](#import-first-the-uniqueslug-facade)

```
use Sufian\SlugHelper\Facades\SlugHelperFacade;
```

### Example #01- Post unique slug from title

[](#example-01--post-unique-slug-from-title)

Let's assume, we have in `Post` class, we've added `slug` column which is unique. Now, if we passed `title` and generate `slug` from that, then -

```
use App\Models\Post;

// First time create post with title Simple Post
UniqueSlug::generate(Post::class, 'Simple Post', 'slug');
// Output: simple-post

// Second time create post with title Simple Post
UniqueSlug::generate(Post::class, 'Simple Post', 'slug');
// Output: simple-post-1

// Third time create post with title Simple Post
UniqueSlug::generate(Post::class, 'Simple Post', 'slug');
// Output: simple-post-2
```

### Example #02 - Pass custom separator

[](#example-02---pass-custom-separator)

Let's assume separator is `''` empty.

```
// First time create user.
UniqueSlug::generate(User::class, 'sufian', 'username', ''); // sufian

// Second time create user.
UniqueSlug::generate(User::class, 'sufian', 'username', ''); // sufian_1

// Third time create user.
UniqueSlug::generate(User::class, 'sufian', 'username', ''); // sufian_2
```

### Example - Unique slug for category or any model easily

[](#example---unique-slug-for-category-or-any-model-easily)

```
public function create(array $data): Category|null
{
    if (empty($data['slug'])) {
        $data['slug'] = UniqueSlug::generate(Category::class, $data['name'], 'slug');
    }

    return Category::create($data);
}
```
