Laravel Debugbar

This is a package to integrate PHP Debug Bar with Laravel 5. It is configured to display all queries, show the current Route, show the currently loaded views, show all events, show the Laravel version and Environment and may more.

Eloquent Sluggable

A slug is a simplified version of a string, typically URL-friendly. The act of "slugging" a string usually involves converting it to one case, and removing any non-URL-friendly characters (spaces, accented letters, ampersands, etc.). The resulting string can then be used as an identifier for a particular resource. For example, if you have a blog with posts, you could turn this.

http://example.com/post/I+Code+With+Robert%C3%A9+%26+Ask%C3%A7am

to

http://example.com/post/i-code-with-robert-askam
