django-autoslugged

DEPRECATION NOTICE

Since the maintenance and development of the original project have resumed, this fork will not be maintained anymore. Please switch to https://github.com/justinmayer/django-autoslug

Django-autoslugged is a reusable Django library 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.

The field is highly configurable.

Requirements

• Python >= 2.7 or PyPy

• Django >= 1.8

It may be possible to successfully use django-autoslugged in other environments but they are not tested.

note

PyPy3 is not officially supported only because there were some problems with permissions and __pycache__ on CI unrelated to django-autoslugged itself.

Examples

A simple example:

from django.db.models import CharField, Model
from autoslugged 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 autoslugged 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=['author__name', 'pub_date__month'],
                         slugify=lambda value: value.replace(' ','-'))
