Set the Slug Attribute in Laravel & append counter is not unique

laravel-setSlugAttribute-model-php

/**
 * Set the Slug attribute and add counter if not unique.
 * This function will check if the current model's slug is unique and update
 * if with a counter at the end of the slug (such as -2) if there already exists.
 * For example, if we're saving a page called "About us" with the slug
 * "about-us", but for some reason you already have a page with the slug
 * "about-us" this new page would then be set to have the slug
 * "about-us-2" instead.
 *
 * @param any $value This is the value passed to this setting function.
 *
 * @return void
