blog name in url instead of id in meteor

I've a blog and I want the blog post name instead of blog id in how to do this

I want the url like mysite.com/firs-post not like mysite.com/_id

code

Router.map("blogpost",{
     path:"/blog/:slug",
     template:"singlepost",
     data:function(){
         return blog.findOne({});//want to return single blog
     }
});

the blog post name may be duplicate, 

I want to redirect to particular blog post without the id in url

For this I end up creating a link using the blog name and id of the record(last 5 letters)

Like

post-name-xh45d

One idea could be to have a link on the template like for example:

<a href="/blog_post_name"></a>

Now in iron:router

 Router.map("blogpost",{
     path:"/blog/:slug",
     template:"singlepost",
     waitOn: function () {
         return [Meteor.subscribe('blog')];
     },
     data: function(){
         return blog.findOne({name: this.params.slug});//want to return single blog
     }
 });
