Multiple fields as slug source in Sanity
source: "title && date"
Yes, absolutely! You can use multiple fields as a source when generating a slug. Instead of passing a simple string to the source option, you can use a function that receives the document and returns a combined string.
Here's how to do it:
{
name: 'slug',
type: 'slug',
options: {
source: (doc) => `${doc.title} ${doc.date}`,
maxLength: 96
}
}The source option accepts a function that receives the entire document as an argument, allowing you to access and combine any fields you need. The function should return a string that will be slugified when you click the "Generate" button in the Studio.
You can get creative with this - for example, you might want to combine a category with a title:
source: (doc) => `${doc.category} ${doc.title}`Or format a date along with the title:
source: (doc) => {
const date = new Date(doc.publishedAt).toISOString().split('T')[0];
return `${date} ${doc.title}`;
}The function gives you full flexibility to construct the source string however you need before it gets converted into a URL-friendly slug. Just remember that the actual slugification (converting to lowercase, replacing spaces with hyphens, etc.) happens automatically after your function returns the combined string.
