So In Previous Post I Created The Simple Django Model of the BlogPost Which Stores Data Like Given Below.

class Post(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(verbose_name='title', max_length=255, null=False)
    content = models.TextField(verbose_name='content', null=False, blank=True)
    created_on = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True, auto_created=True, null=False, blank=False)
    published_on = models.DateTimeField(null=True)
    updated_on = models.DateTimeField(null=True)

But It does Not have any slug field so I am Adding them it will be like given below

from typing import Iterable, Optional
from django.db import models

# Create your models here.
class Post(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(verbose_name='title', max_length=255, null=False)
    content = models.TextField(verbose_name='content', null=False, blank=True)
    created_on = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True, auto_created=True, null=False, blank=False)
    published_on = models.DateTimeField(null=True)
    updated_on = models.DateTimeField(null=True)
    slug = models.SlugField(verbose_name='slug', max_length=255, unique=True)

    def save(self, force_insert: bool = ..., force_update: bool = ..., using: Optional[str] = ..., update_fields: Optional[Iterable[str]] = ...) -> None:
        return super().save(force_insert, force_update, using, update_fields)

Here there is also a new method is added here. don't worry you don't have to remember it as it is just type def save under the model in your code editor and it auto fill the save() method of models.Model Base Class Also from typing import Iterable, Optional for working with optional values.

There is Function Named slugify() in Built-in module of django django.utils.text just import it and modify the last one save() method like given below.

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

Now This may make our slug easily but it will have issues like we can't create Posts with same title so we will add new function here.

import random
from typing import Iterable, Optional
from django.db import models
from django.utils.text import slugify

def random_words():
    return ''.join(random.choice('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789'.split('')) for _ in range(6))

# Create your models here.
class Post(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(verbose_name='title', max_length=255, null=False)
    content = models.TextField(verbose_name='content', null=False, blank=True)
    created_on = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True, auto_created=True, null=False, blank=False)
    published_on = models.DateTimeField(null=True)
    updated_on = models.DateTimeField(null=True)
    slug = models.SlugField(verbose_name='slug', max_length=255, unique=True)

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

here we added random module and random_words() functions for auto creating slug if not informed.

Also register that model in admin.py of the blog app folder like given below

from django.contrib import admin

# Register your models here.
from .models import Post

admin.site.register(Post)

Resultant Creation Form Will Look Like Given Below After migrating the Database.
