# mongoose-simple-slugify ![npm](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/mongoose-simple-slugify) ![npm](https://img.shields.io/npm/dw/mongoose-simple-slugify)

A simple language agnostic `mongoose` plugin for generating unique slugs from a given string.

## Installation

Installation is as simple as any other `npm` package:

```

$ npm install mongoose-simple-slugify

```

## Usage

Given you have a schema in a file `models/post.js` that has a `title` and you want to generate a slug using that `title`, the corresponding code will be as follows:

```js

// models/post.js

// regular mongoose stuff

const mongoose = require('mongoose');

const { Schema } = mongoose;

// require mongoose-simple-slugify in your schema

const slugify = require('mongoose-simple-slugify');

const Post = mongoose.model(

  'Post',

  new Schema(

    {

      // title of the post

      title: {

        type: String,

        required: true,

      },

      // slug generated for the post

      slug: {

        source: 'title', // source for generating the slug

        type: String,

        unique: true,

      },

      body: {

        type: String,

        required: true,

      },

    },

    { timestamps: true },

  ).plugin(slugify), // registering the plugin

);

module.exports = Post;

```

That's all you need. Now everytime you create a new post a slug will be generated automatically. In case the generated slug is already in the database, a cryptographically correct random string will be appended to the slug.
