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>{!! $article->body !!}</div>
<div>{{ MetaTag::tag('seo_text') }}</div>
@endsectionAnd you can set meta tags right in the template:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
@php(MetaTag::setEntity($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()
!!}
