Installation

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.

Either run

php composer.phar require --prefer-dist ptheofan/yii2-meta "*"

or add

"ptheofan/yii2-meta": "*"

to the require section of your composer.json file.

Usage

Basic Usage In your components configuration add the following

'meta' => [
    'class' => 'ptheofan\meta\Meta',
]

run the migration by running

./yii migrate --migrationPath="@vendor/ptheofan/yii2-meta/migrations"

In your code, if you want to automatically set the metadata for a page call

Yii::$app->meta->setMeta();

This will automatically load the correct row from the database using the currently running route (module/controller/action or controller/action). It will automatically identify and set the canonical, the og:url. The reset depend on the database entry, the argument used and the defaults as identified in your component config.

You can optionally override data by specifying them in a parameter array

Yii::$app->meta->setMeta(['title' => 'My cool override']);

or you can use defaults to be used throughout the site in the component config

'meta' => [
    'class' => 'ptheofan\meta\Meta',
    'defaults' => [
        'og:type' => 'website',
        'author' => 'My Cool Company',
    ],
]

The defaults will always override any values passed in through parameter or through the database.
