How can I change the URL in laravel - laravel

Question

I have a blog list. When I click on a blog I want to make the URL as the blog name like : www.domain.com/blog/my-blog-name.
In my blog list I have the link as blog/blogid(2/3/4) ex : www.domain.com/blog/1
When someone visit www.domain.com/blog/1 then the URL should be www.domain.com/blog/my-blog-name { the blog name will change as per the blog Id }
I did so many research on this but no luck. It would be great if anyone help me to get out of this.
I am using laravel 5.4. I am new to laravel also.

Answer 1

You need to create a slug field in your database and you will find a post using slug instead of id
Define route:
Route::get('post/{slug}', 'PostsControler#findBySlug');
Example http://example.com/post/my-awesome-blog-post
and in your controller
//PostsController.php
public function findBySlug($slug)
{
$post = Post::where('slug', $slug)->firstOrFail();
// return view
}
I suggest you use Eloquent-Sluggable to auto create slug value from your title field
$post = new Post([
'title' => 'My Awesome Blog Post',
]);
$post->save();
// $post->slug is "my-awesome-blog-post"

Answer 2

You can create a unique slug or name for your blog , but since names can be duplicate and for the user it is difficult to manually create a unique slug, then I would advise you to do so
Route::get('/blog/{id}/{name}', 'BlogController#show');
this it will look nice in url, as here for example in stackoverflow!

Answer 3

You can just override the function getRouteKeyName
public function getRouteKeyName()
{
return 'slug';
}

Answer 4

Try with following one!
In your routes file:
Route::get('blog/{slug}', 'BlogController#show'); // make sure not conflict with resource routes define
And then your BlogController:
public function show($slug)
{
$id = explode($slug, '-')[0]; //get id of post
// your logic
}
Hope this helps you!

Answer 5

you can simply take your title from database and use it as a slug like below :
$slug = str_replace(' ','-',$yourtitle);

Answer 6

You can use Laravel mutators setSlugAttribute in your model:
public function setSlugAttribute($title){
$this->attributes['slug'] = str_replace(' ','-',$title);
}
and write this sample code in your web.php :
Route::get('/blog/{slug}', 'BlogController#show');
You can use slug in your method.
public function findBySlug($slug){
$post = Post::whereSlug($slug)->firstOrFail();
}
