Usage

Just use MrTimofey\EloquentSluggable\Sluggable trait by any of your model classes. Define fields if needed:

class MyModel extends \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model {
	use \MrTimofey\EloquentSluggable\Sluggable;

	/**
	 * @var string attribute name that used as a source for transliteration
	 */
	protected static $slugSource = 'name';

	/**
	 * @var string attribute name containing a slug itself
	 */
	protected static $slugField = 'slug';

	/**
	 * @var bool slug can be null
	 */
	protected static $slugNullable = false;
}
