Mongoose URL Slugs

A simple URL based slug generator for mongoose models.

Installation

$ npm install mongoose-url-slugs

Example Usage

Example 1: Using default options and using 2 fields for slug generation.

var mongoose = require('mongoose'),
    Schema = mongoose.Schema,
    URLSlugs = require('mongoose-url-slugs');

var testSchema = new Schema({
  first_name: {type: String, default: '', trim: true},
  last_name: {type: String, default: '', trim: true},
  rev: {type: String, default: '', trim: true}
});

testSchema.plugin(URLSlugs('first_name last_name'));

Example 2: Using 'myslug' key for storing slug.

var mongoose = require('mongoose'),
    Schema = mongoose.Schema,
    URLSlugs = require('mongoose-url-slugs');

var testSchema = new Schema({
  first_name: {type: String, default: '', trim: true},
  last_name: {type: String, default: '', trim: true},
  rev: {type: String, default: '', trim: true}
});

// Save slugs to 'myslug' field.
testSchema.plugin(URLSlugs('first_name last_name', {field: 'myslug'}));
