How do I use slug fields in Django?

In Django, a slug field is a short label for something, containing only letters, numbers, underscores, or hyphens. You can use it in your models like this: slug = models.SlugField(unique=True).

Can you give me an example of how to create a slug from a title?

Sure! You can create a slug from a title using Django's slugify function. For example: from django.utils.text import slugify and then slug = slugify(title).

What if I want to automatically generate slugs when saving a model?

You can override the save method in your model to automatically generate a slug. Here's an example:

class MyModel(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    slug = models.SlugField(unique=True, blank=True)

    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
        if not self.slug:
            self.slug = slugify(self.title)
        super().save(*args, **kwargs)
