Edit the /common/models/name_of_your_models.js and add a hook method. Use the hook "beforeSave" method to add the functionality, pass the Model,newdata,and the configoptions.

Configoptions:(json object)

• separator (Default: '-') - Separator to use for characters.
• slug (Default: 'slug') - Parts that are uploaded simultaneously.
• fields (Default: 'title') - Array that will use to form the slug.
• lowercase (Default: false) - Convert the slug to lowercase.

Works in last loopback Version, where currentInstance is part of the ctx.

var loopbackslug=require("loopback-slug");
module.exports = function (Category) {
  Category.observe('before save', function (ctx, next) {  //!!important
    loopbackslug.middleware(Category, ctx, {
      fields: ['name'],
      slug: "slug"
    }, function (err) {
      if (err) return next(err);
      else next(null);
    });
  });
};
