Integrate & usage
Usage in Eloquent models: app/Models/Article.php
Add Metatagable
trait in your entity model:
<?php namespace App\Models; use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model; use Fomvasss\LaravelMetaTags\Traits\Metatagable; class Article extends Model { use Metatagable; //... }
app/Http/Controllers/ArticleController.php:
Usage facade MetaTag
in controllers: app/Http/Controllers/ArticleController.php
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers; use MetaTag; class ArticleController extends Controller { public function index() { $articles = \App\Model\Article::paginate(); MetaTag::setTags([ 'title' => 'Article index page', 'description' => 'It is article index page', ]); return view('index', compact('articles')); } public function store(Request $request) { // create entity $article = \App\Model\Article::create($request->only([ //.. article data ])); // create meta tag for entity $article->metaTag()->create($request->only([ //.. meta tags fields ])); } public function show($id) { $article = \App\Model\Article::findOrFail($id); // Set tags for showing MetaTag::setEntity($article) ->setDefault([ 'title' => $article->title, // if empty $article->metaTag->title - show this title ])->setTags([ 'seo_text' => 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit', 'h1' => $article->title, ]); return view('stow', compact('article')); } public function search(Request $request) { $articles = \App\Model\Article::bySearch($request->q) ->paginate(); // Set tags for showing MetaTag::setPath() // if argument `setPath()` is empty (or not set) - path = `request()->path()` ->setDefault([ 'title' => 'Search page', 'robots' => 'noindex', 'og_title' => 'Search page OG', 'twitter_title' => 'Search page Twitter', 'canonical' => 'page/search', ]); return view('index', compact('articles')); } }
For the package to work correctly, you must save to the database, in the path
field, only the url-path itself, without a domain and trim slash'es (/
)
Example:
https://site.com/some/pages/?page=23
=>some/pages
https://site.com/some/pages
=>/
Usage facade MetaTag
in blade templates: resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php
Simple and efficient:
<!doctype html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8" /> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> {!! MetaTag::render() !!} </head> <body> @yield('content') </body> </html>
Or output one by one manually:
<!doctype html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8" /> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <title>{!! MetaTag::tag('title') !!}</title> <meta name="description" content="{!! MetaTag::tag('description') !!}"> <meta name="keywords" content="{!! MetaTag::tag('keywords') !!}"> </head> <body> @yield('content') </body> </html>
Another example: resources/views/articles/show.blade.php
@extends('layouts.app') @section('content') <h1>{!! MetaTag::tag('title') !!}</h1> <div>{!! $article->body !!}</div> <div>{{ MetaTag::tag('seo_text') }}</div> @endsection
And you can set meta tags right in the template:
<!doctype html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8" /> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> @php(MetaTag::setEntity($article)) @php(MetaTag::setDefault(['description' => 'My default meta tag'])) {!! MetaTag::render() !!} </head> <body> @yield('content') </body> </html>
Similarly:
{!! \MetaTag::setEntity($article) ->setDefault(['description' => 'My default meta tag']) ->render() !!}
{!! \MetaTag::setPath('articles') ->setDefault(['robots' => 'follow', 'canonical' => 'page/articles']) ->setDefault(['title' => 'All articles']) ->setDefault(['og_title' => 'All articles']) ->setDefault(['og_locale' => 'de']) ->setDefault(['og_image' => 'files/images/5be3d92e02a55890e4301ed4.jpg', 'og_image_height' => 123]) ->render() !!}
