Slug isn’t changed with the name of the category

#1

Steps to Reproduce:
I use this package cviebrock/eloquent-sluggable to create the slugs of the names of the categories. The slugs are created perfectly, but they aren’t changed, when I change the names of the categories.

Here is the model Category:

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Cviebrock\EloquentSluggable\Sluggable;

class Category extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;
    use Sluggable;

    protected $fillable = [
        'name',
        'slug'
    ];

    public function sluggable(): array
    {
        return [
            'slug' => [
                'source' => 'name'
            ]
        ];
    }

    public function posts()
    {
        return $this->hasMany(Post::class);
    }
}

Here is my CRUD component:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Livewire;

use Livewire\Component;
use App\Models\Category;
use Cviebrock\EloquentSluggable\Services\SlugService;

class Categories extends Component
{
    public $slug, $name, $category, $category_id;
    public $isOpen = 0;

    public function render()
    {
        $categories  = Category::all();
        return view('admin.categories.cats', compact('categories'));
    }

    public function create()
    {
        $this->resetInputFields();
        $this->openModal();
    }

    public function openModal()
    {
        $this->isOpen = true;
    }

    public function closeModal()
    {
        $this->isOpen = false;
    }

    private function resetInputFields(){
        $this->name = '';
    }

    public function updatedTitle($name)
    {
        $this->slug = SlugService::createSlug(Category::class, 'name', $name);
    }

    public function store()
    {
        $this->validate([
            'name'   => 'required|max:30',
            'slug'   => 'required|max:30',
        ]);

        Category::updateOrCreate(['id' => $this->category_id], [
            'name'    => $this->name,
            'slug'    => $this->slug,
        ]);

        session()->flash('message',
            $this->category_id ? 'Категория успешно обновлена.' : 'Категория успешно создана.');

        $this->closeModal();
        $this->resetInputFields();
    }

    public function edit($id)
    {
        $category             =    Category::findOrFail($id);
        $this->category_id    =    $id;
        $this->slug           =    $category->slug;
        $this->name           =    $category->name;
        $this->openModal();
    }

    public function delete($id)
    {
        Category::find($id)->delete();
        session()->flash('message', 'Категория успешно удалена.');
    }
}

I have deleted the variable $slug from the component at all. It works the same way and the slug isn’t changed, when I rename the category. In the table in the db the name field is changed, but the slug field is the same.
Here is my migration:

public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('categories', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->string('name', 30);
            $table->string('slug', 30);
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

Please, ideas🥺

Are you using the latest version of Livewire:
Yes

maybe you have to check this method…who is tittle? If you want to check for ‘name’ property’s changes you have to declared updatedName($name). Try this and tell me the result…hope this fix the issue

Hey, @nataly

Try to use Observers in your model it’s a lot better

    protected static function boot()
    {
        parent::boot();

        static::saving(function ($model) {
            $model->slug = make_slug($model->title);
        });
    }

You can set the option to re-slug when you update a model in cviebrock/eloquent-sluggable config file:

 return [
    'source'             => null,
    'method'             => null,
    'onUpdate'           => true, // Change to true
    'separator'          => '-',
    'unique'             => true,
    'uniqueSuffix'       => null,
    'includeTrashed'     => false,
    'reserved'           => null,
    'maxLength'          => null,
    'maxLengthKeepWords' => true,
    'slugEngineOptions'  => [],
];

Note: I have not tested this using livewire, but it works when updating models through Eloquent.

Thank you, but it doesn’t work for me( the solution was so easy! Just to change the setting ‘onUpdate’ in the config file. Like @codebyray told​:pray::blush:
