Global slug for models

[MDylan]

Hi,

I want to introduce you my solution if you need global slugs for each modules (or just 2-3 module).
Example:
I don't want to use different path for Pages, Products.
In default, permalink based on this: /page/{slug} or /product/{slug}

But I want one slug database for this two models and hide "module" from url. How can I do this?

Solution tried on Twill 2.12.4

First, you need to create a model:
php artisan make:model GlobalSlug -m

Modify the fillable variable App\Modules\GlobalSlug.php file

    protected $fillable = [
        'model_id',
        'model',
        'slug',
        'locale',
        'active'
    ];

And need modify migration file:

      Schema::create('global_slugs', function (Blueprint $table) {
           $table->id();
           $table->unsignedBigInteger('model_id')->index();
           $table->string('model')->index();
           $table->string('slug');
           $table->string('locale', 7)->index();
           $table->unsignedTinyInteger('active')->default(1);
           $table->timestamps();
           $table->softDeletes();

           $table->index([
               'slug', 'locale'
           ]);
           $table->index([
               'model_id', 'model'
           ]);

Run php artisan migrate

Than in the App\Models\Slugs\PageSlug.php and App\Models\Slugs\ProductSlug.php file, you need to modify $table variable:

protected $table = "global_slugs";

After that, modify App\Http\Controllers\Admin\PageController.php and App\Http\Controllers\Admin\ProductController.php file

protected $permalinkBase = '';

And after that, you need to add some modified code to Models. Example to App\Models\Page.php and App\Models\Product.php

    public function slugs()
    {
        return $this->hasMany(GlobalSlug::class, 'model_id', 'id')->where('model', get_class($this));
    }

    protected function addOneSlug($slugParams)
    {
        $datas = [];
        foreach ($slugParams as $key => $value) {
            $datas[$key] = $value;
        }

        $datas['slug'] = $this->suffixSlugIfExisting($slugParams);

        $datas["model_id"] = $this->id;
        $datas['model'] = get_class($this);

        $id = $this->getSlugModelClass()::insertGetId($datas);

        $this->disableLocaleSlugs($slugParams['locale'], $id);
    }

    /**
     * @param string $locale
     * @param int $except_slug_id
     * @return void
     */
    public function disableLocaleSlugs($locale, $except_slug_id = 0)
    {
        $this->getSlugModelClass()::where("model_id", $this->id)
            ->where('id', '<>', $except_slug_id)
            ->where('locale', $locale)
            ->where('model', get_class($this))
            ->update(['active' => 0]);
    }

At this step, you can create slugs for Pages and Products in database.
Now, how can we show this on frontend?
Example:
Make a Controller file, in my case: PathsController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\GlobalSlug;
use Illuminate\Support\Str;

class PathsController extends Controller
{
    public function show($slug) {

        $model = GlobalSlug::where('slug', $slug)
                    ->where('locale', app()->getLocale())
                    ->where('active', 1)
                    ->first();

        abort_if(!$model, 404);

        $snake = Str::snake(class_basename($model->model));

        $model_name = "\\".str_replace("\\Models", "\\Repositories", $model->model)."Repository";
        $page = app($model_name)->forSlug($slug);

        abort_if(!$page, 404);
        //check if there is some blade file or not. Page is the default
        if (view()->exists('site.'.$snake.".show")) {
            $view = 'site.' . $snake . ".show";
        } else {
            $view = 'site.page.show';
        }

        return view($view, compact('page'));

    }
}

If you see, you need to create default site.page.show blade file. Or if you want to use different by models, you can do it.
Example create site.product.show and it will be use that!

Now, only you need create route for PathsController in the routes/web.php file.

Route::get('{slug}', [PathsController::class, 'show'])->name('page.show');

I hope it will be usefull somebody too and if you have any suggestion, please tell me.
