Slugger - Strapi Plugin

🚀 Slugger is a Strapi plugin that automatically generates SEO-friendly slugs for your content entries based on specified fields.

✅ Compatible with Strapi v5.10.2 and above

✨ Features

• ✅ Automatic slug generation on beforeCreate and beforeUpdate events
• ✅ Per collection type configuration to specify source and slug fields
• ✅ Ensures unique slugs within a collection to avoid duplicates
• ✅ Custom slug field for each collection type

📦 Installation

Via npm:

npm install @codeberry/slugger

Via yarn:

yarn add @codeberry/slugger

⚙️ Configuration

To configure Slugger, modify your config/plugins.ts file:

export default {
  slugger: {
    enabled: true,
    config: {
      slugConfig: {
        article: { sourceField: "title", slugField: "slug" },
      },
    },
  },
};

Configuration Breakdown:

• article → The collection type where slug generation should be applied
• sourceField: "title" → Field from which the slug is generated
• slugField: "slug" → Field where the generated slug is stored

🔧 Adding the Slug Field to Your Collection

This plugin does not automatically add the slug field. You need to manually add it using the Strapi Admin Panel:

Steps to Add the Slug Field:

1. Go to Strapi Admin Panel → Content-Type Builder
2. Open the collection type where you want to generate slugs (e.g., article)
3. Click "Add another field"
4. Navigate to the Custom Fields tab
5. Select the field named "Slug"
6. Enter a name for the field (e.g., slugHere or slug)
   • This name must match the slugField value in your plugin configuration
7. Save and apply the changes

Now, the plugin will store the generated slugs in this field automatically.

🛠 Usage

Once configured, the plugin will automatically generate slugs before an entry is created or updated.

• If an entry in article has a title, it will generate a slug from it.
• If a slug already exists, a unique version will be created (e.g., my-title, my-title-1).

📌 Example Behavior

| Title | Generated Slug | |----------------------------|------------------------| | "Hello World" | hello-world | | "Hello World" (duplicate) | hello-world-1 | | "Strapi is Awesome!" | strapi-is-awesome |

🔍 Ensuring Slug Uniqueness

Slugs are made unique within the collection type by appending an incremental counter if necessary.

📝 Notes

• This plugin does not modify existing slugs unless the sourceField is updated.
• Ensure the slug field is added using the Custom Fields tab in Strapi Admin.
• The slug field name must match what is set in slugField inside the plugin configuration.
