Like the URL to this very page, I want to have urls like this:
http://domain.com/products/454-table-lamp
So I use friendly_id like so:
extend FriendlyId friendly_id :slug_candidates, use: :history def slug_candidates [ [:id, :title] ] end
Now, since friendly id generates the slug before the object is saved I end up with an url like so (Please note the missing id in the URL):
http://domain.com/products/table-lamp
Now while this is not too bad as such. As soon as I save another Product called "Table Lamp", I will get an URL like this:
http://domain.com/products/table-lamp-ebaf4bf5-a6fb-4824-9a07-bdda34f56973
So my question is, how can I make sure, friendly ID creates the slug containing the ID as well.
