Slugs are concise, human-readable, and optimized for search engines, typically consisting of lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens. They help make URLs more descriptive and accessible. Learn more.
To create a slug field in Hygraph, navigate to the Schema builder, select your model, and add a new field of type Slug. You can configure options such as display name, description, lowercase enforcement, and whether the slug should be generated from a template. By default, the slug field is set to unique, and you can specify a matching pattern. See detailed steps.
Yes, Hygraph allows you to configure the slug field to be generated automatically from other fields in your model, such as title or name. You can specify a template for the slug, and as you enter data in the source field, the slug will update accordingly. You can also override or regenerate the slug value as needed. More on slug templates.
You can manually override the slug field value by typing directly into the slug input box. If you wish to revert to the template-generated value, you can use the "Regenerate" option to restore the default slug based on your template. Learn more.
A slug template in Hygraph lets you define how the slug should be generated using available fields in your model.

You can configure the slug field to be generated from other field values in your model.
Slug - Adding a slug field
Slug from the Add field sidebar.Display name, which will autocomplete the API ID. You can optionally add a Description.Add to save.Each Slug field template can be generated using the Available fields outlined above the input. If your model has a title, or name field, you could specify the slug template as {title}, or {name} respectively.
When creating content, the slug field will be automatically generated from the template field you're using.
For example, if your slug field is based off a title field, when you start typing into the title field, it will also update the slug field.
You can override the slug field value by typing in the box. You can also "Regenerate" the value to fallback to the template you provided.
