Django auto Slug 

SlugField is most important part of generating a valid URL, slug url  containing only letters, numbers, underscores or hyphens.

For example, my website is bestseller.in and I have create one post and I using posting title “  how create slug  field in django”

Here if I want  my url show with by post title  like”  www.bestsaller.in/how create slug field in django” then without slug fields not possible showing correct,  without slug field you have get this is url like “www.bestsaller.in/how%%create%slug%field%in%django%

It means without slug fields not possible url showing correct formate.

So django provide future slug fields option  and this option is auto create . here you look how create auto slug field.
