Sluggable

Sluggable generates slugs (uniqueness is not guaranteed) for an entity.

Will automatically generate on update/persist (you can disable the on update generation by overriding shouldRegenerateSlugOnUpdate() to return false.

You can also override the slug delimiter from the default - by overriding getSlugDelimiter() method.

Slug generation algo can be changed by overriding generateSlugValue().

Use cases include SEO (i.e. URLs like http://example.com/post/3/introduction-to-php)
