With this package you can manage meta-tags and SEO-fields from Laravel controllers and "blade" template.
Run from the command line:
composer require fomvasss/laravel-meta-tagsIf you want to use the facade, add this to de bottom of config/app.php And, for convenience, add a facade alias to this same file at the bottom:
'MetaTag' => Fomvasss\LaravelMetaTags\Facade::class- Publish assets - run this on the command line:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Fomvasss\LaravelMetaTags\ServiceProvider"- A configuration file will be publish to
config/meta-tags.php. - A migration file will be publish to
database/migrations/DATE_NOW_create_meta_tags_table.php. - A customizable blade template file will be publish to
resources/views/vondor/meta-tags/tags.blade.php.
- Edit assets:
- Set available tags in
config/meta-tags.php- uncomment needed - If needed - set own model class for meta-tags in
config/meta-tags.php - Edit migration meta_tags file - set available table field tags - uncomment needed
- Run migration
php artisan migrate
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:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use MetaTag;
class HomeController 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);
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, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.',
'h1' => $article->title,
]);
return view('stow', compact('article'));
}
public function search(Request $request)
{
$articles = \App\Model\Article::bySearch($request->q)
->paginate();
MetaTag::setPath() // if argument `setPath()` is empty (or not set) - path = `request()->path()`
->setDefault([
'title' => 'Search page',
'robots' => 'noindex',
'og_title' => 'Search page',
'canonical' => 'page/search',
]);
return view('index', compact('articles'));
}
}For the package to work correctly, you must save to the database, in the
pathfield, only the url-path itself, without a domain and slash'es (/) Example:https://site.com/some/pages/?page=23=>some/pages
resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php:
<!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>resources/views/articles/show.blade.php:
@extends('layouts.app')
@section('content')
<h1>{!! MetaTag::tag('title') !!}</h1>
{!! $article->body !!}
<hr>
{{ MetaTag::tag('seo_text') }}
@endsectionOr you can use a pre-made template for output:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
{!! MetaTag::render() !!}
</head>
<body>
@yield('content')
</body>
</html>And you can set meta tags right in the template:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
@php(MetaTag::setEntity($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(['fb_app_id' => config('meta-tags.default.fb_app_id'),])
->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()
!!}
