Laravel cviebrock/eloquent-sluggable put @ as prefix or filter it in route

Laravel version 7.0, I am using cviebrock/eloquent-sluggable package.

What I want is to put @ as prefix to the username.

I included Sluggable trait in User model and set like this.

public function sluggable()
{
    return [
        'username' => [
            'source' => 'name',
            'separator' => '',
            'onUpdate' => true
        ]
    ];
}

Now what I want is https://mywebsite.com/@username url shows user profile.

I think either we can put @ as prefix in sluggable package or we can detect it in laravel route.

Can anyone suggest me better way?

Thank you

Solution

  • I figured out the better solution.

    I could add @ in laravel route easily.

    Route::get('/@{username}', 'HomeController@user')->name('user.index');

    We can save username without @ and put @ as prefix in laravel route.
