Laravel sluggable

Question

I am using this package for slugs in my Laravel 5.5 app. I was upgrading from Laravel 4.2 and I followed upgrade instructions, so now I have this in my model:

public function sluggable()
{
    return [
        'slug' => [
            'source' => ['id', 'title'],
            'separator'  => '-',
        ]
    ];
}

but my models don't read id at all in the slug when creating.

Before when I'd save a model, I would have 123456-model, and now I am getting just model without prepended ID.

Does anyone know what the issue may be?

Answer 1

I have resolved the issue by setting the slug to null and then saving the model (only after the model was already in the DB).

$model = new Model(...);
...
$model->save(); // <-- initial DB insert so that model has ID

// resluggify
$model->slug = null;
$model->save();
