What it does

When saving a new model, it will automatically generate a slug and set it to specified field for you.

For example, when saving a post with the title Hello World:

var posts = new Posts();
var post = posts.model({
  title: 'Hello World'
});
 
post.save().then(function (model) {
  var slug = model.get('slug'); // `hello-world`
});

It will also save the value hello-world in slug field.

Usage

Node.js

With npm:

$ npm install --save firenze-behavior-slug

Now you can require it as follows:

var SlugBehavior = require('firenze-behavior-slug');
 
// create your Database instance...
 
db.createCollection({
  behaviors: [
    SlugBehavior
  ]
});

If you want to pass extra configuration options:

db.createCollection({
  behaviors: [
    {
      'class': SlugBehavior
      options: {
        source: 'title', // field to convert
        field: 'slug', // field to store the slug in
