An automated slug field for Django

Project description

Django-autoslug is a reusable Django application that provides an improved slug field which can automatically:

  1. populate itself from another field,

  2. preserve uniqueness of the value and

  3. use custom slugify() functions for better i18n.

Examples

A simple example:

from django.db.models import CharField, Model
from autoslug.fields import AutoSlugField

class Article(Model):
    title = CharField(max_length=200)
    slug = AutoSlugField(populate_from='title')

More complex example:

from django.db.models import CharField, DateField, ForeignKey, Model
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from autoslug.fields import AutoSlugField

class Article(Model):
    title = CharField(max_length=200)
    pub_date = DateField(auto_now_add=True)
    author = ForeignKey(User)
    slug = AutoSlugField(populate_from=lambda instance: instance.title,
                         unique_with=['pub_date__month'],
                         slugify=lambda value: value.replace(' ','-'))
