Personally, I would use a Model Event to generate a slug rather than a mutator.
what if i need to add new cast , should i create new function or just append it on
That depends; is the "new cast" depending on the name attribute?

Use new attribute cast
Hi , i want to use new attribute way stand for laravel 10 , to create a slug from name so i write this code inside Course Model
protected function name(): Attribute
{
return new Attribute(
set: fn($value) => [
'name' => $value,
'slug' => Str::slug($value)]
);
}
It works , but i have some questions is the function name affect on ? and is this way is write way and best practice ? and what if i need to add new cast , should i create new function or just append it on

@tykus as you see you personally prefer to use model event , can i ask why ? just to understand and learn, benefit from your experience.

@MahmoudAdelAli in my opinion it is cleaner this way. You can choose whether the slug should be set whenever the model is creating or updating (you might not want the slug to change after creation). Although ultimately both approaches will work, in my opinion, having this side-effect in a name mutator is a somewhat opaque.
