Features

• Slug Generators - Generates human-readable URL slugs from model attributes, replacing numeric IDs for cleaner permalinks in Rails applications.
• AI Q&A Dialogue Generators - Creates a human-readable URL string from a database record's attribute, replacing the numeric primary key.
• Scoped Slug Uniqueness Constraints - Enforces slug uniqueness within a configurable association or foreign key scope.
• Slug-Based Record Retrieval - Resolves database records by matching a human-readable slug string instead of the numeric primary key.
• Slug History Trackers - Stores a record of all previous slugs for a model, allowing old URLs to redirect or resolve.
• Slug Conflict Resolutions - Provides a prioritized list of fallback attribute combinations to guarantee unique slugs on conflict.
• Slug History Redirects - Stores previous slug versions and issues HTTP redirects when outdated slugs are requested.
• Slug-Based - Compares the request path to the current slug and issues a 301 redirect when they differ.
• Historical Slug Redirects - Redirects requests to a model's current slug when accessed via an older, stored slug.
• History Tracking - Stores previous slugs for a record so old permalinks continue to resolve after slug changes.
• Slug History Resolutions - Stores a log of every slug a record has ever used so old URLs continue to resolve after changes.
• Slug History Trackers - Records all previous slugs for a record so old URLs continue to resolve correctly after changes.
• Candidate Chains - Provides prioritized fallback attribute combinations to generate unique slugs when the primary choice is taken.
• Conflict Resolution - Ensures unique slugs by appending UUIDs or using candidate fallback attributes when the primary slug is taken.
• Conflict Resolution Strategies - Provides a conflict resolution system that appends UUIDs or uses candidate attributes to guarantee unique slugs.
• Custom Slug Configurations - Allows users to define custom slug-building logic by replacing the default generator with a user-defined hook.
• Scoped Slug Uniqueness Constraints - Restricts slug uniqueness within a defined association or foreign key, allowing duplicates across scopes.
• Slug History Redirects - Logs previous slugs and redirects requests for outdated identifiers to the current slug.
• History Redirects - Tracks previous slugs and automatically redirects old URLs to current records to prevent broken links.
• History Trackers - Records previous slugs for a record and redirects old URLs to the current one, preserving link integrity.
• History Tracking & Redirects - Tracks previous slugs and redirects old URLs to the current one, preserving link integrity after slug changes.
• Scoped Uniqueness - Generates unique slugs within a defined scope, allowing the same slug to exist under different parent records.
• Slug Reserved Word Filters - Prevents specified terms from being used as slugs by checking against a configurable blacklist.
• Fallback Lookups - Finds records by slug while falling back to numeric ID lookup when the slug is not found.
• Locale-Specific Slug Translations - Stores and resolves different slug translations per locale for multilingual URL support.
• Candidate-Based Slug Conflict Resolvers - Defines a prioritized list of alternate attribute combinations to generate a unique slug when the primary choice is taken.
• Fallback Slug Candidate Lists - Specifies a list of fallback slug sources to use when the primary slug is already taken.
• Reserved Word Filters - Prevents specified terms from being used as slugs, avoiding conflicts with application routes or reserved paths.
• Locale-Specific - Generates and resolves slugs per locale, enabling multilingual URL paths for the same record.
• Locale-Specific Slug Translations - Stores separate slug translations per locale and resolves the correct slug based on the current locale.
• Multilingual Slugs - Manages locale-specific slug translations so records have different friendly URLs per language.
• Reserved Word Filters - Prevents specified terms from being used as slugs, avoiding conflicts with application routes or reserved paths.
• Reserved Word Prevention - Blocks specified terms from being used as slugs to avoid conflicts with application routes or reserved paths.
• Scoped Slug Uniqueness Constraints - Restricts slug uniqueness within a defined association, allowing duplicate slugs across different parent records.
• Slug Uniqueness Enforcers with Fallbacks - Appends a UUID to duplicate slugs and supports candidate slugs as alternatives for uniqueness.
• UUID-Based Slug Uniqueness Enforcers - Appends a UUID to duplicate slugs to guarantee uniqueness for each record.
