# Method name: updateSlug(slug: string)

# Method package: wixMembersBackend

# Method menu location: wixMembersBackend --> CurrentMember --> updateSlug

# Method Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/apis/wix-members-backend/current-member/update-slug.md

# Method Description:

# Method Code Examples:

*** Note: do not assume any prop names or enum values other than the ones in the example.

## Update the currently logged-in member's slug

```javascript
import { Permissions, webMethod } from 'wix-web-module';
import { currentMember } from 'wix-members-backend';

// Sample slug value:
// 'claude-morales-new-slug'

export const myUpdateSlugFunction = webMethod(Permissions.Anyone, (slug) => {
  return currentMember.updateSlug(slug)
    .then((updatedMember) => {
      const updatedSlug = updatedMember.profile.slug;
      const memberProfilePage = `https://yoursite.com/profile/${updatedSlug}/profile`;

      return updatedMember;
    })
    .catch((error) => {
      console.error(error);
    });
});

/* Promise resolves to:

## Allow a member to change their own slug

```javascript
/*************************************
 * Backend code - change-slug.web.js *
 ************************************/

import { Permissions, webMethod } from 'wix-web-module';
import { currentMember } from 'wix-members-backend';

export const changeMemberSlug = webMethod(Permissions.Anyone, async (slug) => {
  // Validate the slug passed to this function.
  // This rule enforces that the slug can contain only lowercase letters (a-z),
  // numbers (0-9), hyphens (-), underscores (_), and pluses (+).
  // If the test passes, isValid is set to true.
  const comparison = /^[a-z0-9-_+]+$/m;
  const isValid = comparison.test(slug);

  if (isValid === true) {

    const updatedMember = await currentMember.updateSlug(slug);
    return {
      result: 'updated',
      member: updatedMember
    };

  } else {

    return {
      result: 'not_updated',
      reason: 'Invalid slug. Slug can contain only a-z, 0-9, -, _, or +'
    };

  }
});


/*************
 * Page code *

import { changeMemberSlug } from 'backend/change-slug.web';

// ...

$w('#updateSlugButton').onClick(async () => {
  console.log('Updating slug...');

  const newSlug = $w('#newSlug').value;

  // Pass the new slug to the backend changeMemberSlug()
  const updateSlugResponse = await changeMemberSlug(newSlug);

  if (updateSlugResponse.result === 'updated') {

    const updatedSlug = updateSlugResponse.member.profile.slug;
