Examples

Minimal

import SequelizeSlugify from 'sequelize-slugify';

export default (sequelize, DataTypes) => {
    const User = sequelize.define('User', {
        slug: {
            type: DataTypes.STRING,
            unique: true
        },
        name: {
            type: DataTypes.STRING,
            allowNull: false
        },
    });

    SequelizeSlugify.slugifyModel(User, {
        source: ['name']
    });

    return User;
};

Suffix Sources

import SequelizeSlugify from 'sequelize-slugify';

export default (sequelize, DataTypes) => {
    const Movie = sequelize.define('Movie', {
        slug: {
            type: DataTypes.STRING,
            unique: true
        },
        title: {
            type: DataTypes.STRING,
            allowNull: false,
            unique: true
        },
        year: {
            type: DataTypes.INTEGER,
            allowNull: false
        }
    });

    SequelizeSlugify.slugifyModel(Movie, {
        source: ['title'],
        suffixSource: ['year']
    });

    return Movie;
};

Using getter functions as source

Using Sequelize getterMethods and VIRTUAL fields, you can derive slugs from any combination of model attributes using whatever custom logic you may need.

import SequelizeSlugify from 'sequelize-slugify';

export default (sequelize, DataTypes) => {
    const User = sequelize.define('User', {
        email: {
            type: DataTypes.STRING,
        },
        name: {
            type: DataTypes.STRING,
        },
        emailAsSlug: {
            type: DataTypes.VIRTUAL,
            get() {
              return this.get('email') && this.get('email').split('@')[0].replace('.', '-');
            },
        },
    }, {
        getterMethods: {
          timestamp() {
            return Date.now();
          },
        }
    });

    SequelizeSlugify.slugifyModel(User, {
        source: ['emailAsSlug'],
        suffixSource: ['timestamp'],
    });

    return User;
};
