Laravel custom permalink - php

Question

I am trying to change the url of my article page so instead of showing the article id I'd like to show the article title.
Currently the URL is as follows;
https://www.example.com/posts/post/32
Where 32 is just a random article id.
Instead I like it to display as follows;
https://www.example.com/posts/post/my-amazing-article
Now I have looked in the laravel documentation and different posts on stackoverflow and tried a bunch of stuff but I'm obviously making a mistake somewhere cus nothing seems to work so im pretty much back where I started.
Blade
Route
Route::get('/posts/post/{id}', [App\Http\Controllers\WelcomeController::class, 'post'])->name('post');
Controller
public function post(request $request){
$id = $request->id;
$article = Tinymce::find($id);
return view('/post')->with('articles, $articles');
}
Now the articles, which are saved in Tinymce, are actually created on a different controller on subdomain.
public function tinymce(Request $request)
{
if(request()->ajax())
{
if($request->article_id == null)
{
$tinymce = new Tinymce;
}else{
$tinymce = Tinymce::find($request->article_id);
}
$tinymce->description = $request->description;
$tinymce->content = $request->myContent;
$tinymce->title = $request->title;
$tinymce->author = $request->author;
$tinymce->publish = $request->publish;
$title = $tinymce->title;
$slug = Str::slug($title, "-");
$tinymce->slug = $slug;
$tinymce->save();
return $tinymce->id;
}
}
As you can see I've turned the title into a slug as I read somewhere that's the way to go to use custom url but I didn't get very far with it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Explanation:
First, As you said you stored slug into your database. so, that's good.
From Controller to View, you can get that slug into post object.
Blade View : (you have to pass slug in route url)
Route : (make id to slug)
Route::get('/posts/post/{slug}', [App\Http\Controllers\WelcomeController::class, 'post'])->name('post');
Controller : (now you can get slug from the second parameter)
public function post(request $request, $slug = ''){
$article = Tinymce::where('slug', $slug)->first();
return view('/post', compact('article'));
}
Now, you can use access custom URLs using slug.
I Hope, it helps you. #assiemp
