    Slug

    A slug input field

    The slug field creates a text input that automatically sanitizes the typed value with our built-in sluggify method. It's perfect if you want to create IDs or class names for HTML elements or paths for files or URLs.

    label: Class
    type: slug

    How to use in templates/snippets

    <div class="<?= $page->className() ?>">

    Sync option

    You can sync the slug field with another field. Whenever the editor types something into the synced field, the slug field will update with a sluggified version of the input:

    fields:
  className:
    label: Class Name
    type: slug
    sync: title

    Wizard option

    If you don't want to automatically sync the slug field with the other field, you can also to do this manually when you click a button. The wizard option accepts a field to sync with and a text attribute for the button text.

    fields:
  identifier:
    label: Identifier
    type: slug
    wizard:
      field: input
      text: Generate!

    Allow option

    By default, the slug field will strip out or replace any non-alphabetic, non-numeric character with a simple dash. You can define additional allowed characters with the allow option:

    fields:
  className:
    label: Class Name
    type: slug
    sync: title
    allow: _
