Generating and attaching slug to array.

GenerateSlug.php

<?php

if (! function_exists('generate_slug')) {
    /**
     * @param array $data
     * @param string $key
     * @param bool $unqiue
     * @return array
     * @throws Exception
     */
    function generate_slug(array $data, string $key, bool $unqiue = false): array
    {
        $slug = \Str::slug(
            \Arr::get($data, $key)
        );

        if ($unqiue === true){
            $slug = randomize(8, 16, 20) . '-' . $slug;
        }

        $data = \Arr::add($data, 'slug', $slug);

        return $data;
    }
}

this is mainly for form requests and goes hand in hand with my other helpers.
