    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $rawSlug = $request->get('slug', $request->name);
        $slug = EUS::setEntity(new \App\Models\Article())
            ->setRawStr($rawSlug)
            ->get();
                
        $article = \App\Model\Article::create([
            'title' => $title,
            'slug' => $slug,
            //.. other data
        ]);
        
        //..
    }

    public function update($id, Request $request) 
    {        
        $article = \App\Model\Article::fingOrFail($id);
     
        $rawSlug = $request->get('slug', $request->name);
        $slug = EUS::setEntity($article)
            ->setRawStr($rawSlug)
            ->get();
         
        $article->update([
             'title' => $title,
             'slug' => $slug,
             //.. other data
         ]);
        //..
    }
}

Other alloved methods

Generate and get unique URL path:

<?php
$urlUniqueAlias = EUS::setEntity(new \App\Models\UrlAlias())

    ->setFieldName('alias')
    ->setSlugSeparator('-')
    ->setAllowedSeparator('/')
    ->get();

Generate and save unique system name:

<?php
$term = \App\Models\Term::find(1);

    }
    
    public function example()
    {
        $article = \App\Models\Article::find(1);
        $this->eus
            ->setEntity($article)
