Tailor unique slug

Known Issues
#1

Hi,

is there a way to have a unique (default field) slug in Tailor structure?

I have tried to force validation (as in docs for custom fields), but it is not working for default fields (works for existing records but not new).

If anyone fights the same problem with unique (built-in tailor) field:

  1. Create plugin like php artisan plugin:create JanVince.TailorTools

  2. Add an event listener to plugin’s Plugin.php file in method boot():

Use your Tailor blueprint handles, I have Product\Category here.

        \Tailor\Models\EntryRecord::extendInSection('Product\Category', function($model) {
            $model->bindEvent('model.beforeCreate', function () use ($model) {

                $sameSlugItems = EntryRecord::inSection('Product\Category')->where('slug', $model->slug)->get();

                if($sameSlugItems and $sameSlugItems->count()) {
                    throw new \ValidationException(['slug' => 'URL is used!']);
                }

            });
        });

I don’t like creating plugin just for a simple validation but haven’t found a better way yet.

But it works :slight_smile:

Or you can do it with simplier solution in blueprints

fields:
    slug:
        type: text
        validation:
            - unique

This is a good workaround ^^

We need a unique rule for this that is site-aware. Something like this

unique_site:email

As a modified version of the unique rule, internally it would look like this:

unique:users,email,NULL,id,site_root_id,<current site id>

I’ve made a note of this in our internal tracker.
