Meta Eloquent

Meta Eloquent is an eloquent booster that allows it to easily manage HTTP Meta tags.

Installation

1. Dependecy

Using composer, execute the following command to automatically update your composer.json:

composer require dishark/metaeloquent

or manually update your composer.json file

{
    "require": {
        "dishark/metaeloquent": "dev-master"
    }
}

2. Provider

You need to update your application configuration in order to register the package, so it can be loaded by Laravel. Just update your config/app.php file adding the following code at the end of your 'providers' section:

// file START omitted
    'providers' => [
        // other providers omitted
        'Dishark\Metaeloquent\MetaEloquentServiceProvider',
    ],
// file END omitted

#Usage

Make sure to use Dishark\Metaeloquent\Traits\MetaTrait in your model. Then declare the $metaAttributes property specifying the metatag as the key and the column as the value.

Example 1:

<?php App\Post;

use Dishark\Metaeloquent\Traits\MetaTrait;

class Post {
	use MetaTrait;

	protected $metaAttributes = [
		'author' => 'author',
		'description' => 'title',
		'keywords' => 'keywords',
	];
}
```

Sometimes the column isn't enough. Let's create some Meta accessor:

Example 2:

```php
<?php App\Post;

use Dishark\Metaeloquent\Traits\MetaTrait;

class Post {
	use MetaTrait;

	protected $metaAttributes = [
		'author' => 'author',
		'description' => 'title',
		'keywords' => 'keywords',
	];

	public function getMetaAuthor()
	{
		return $this->author->name;
	}
}
```

## View

In your view:

```php
@extends ('layout')

@section ('metadata')
{!! $post->meta() !!}
@endsection
```

The layout:

```php
<head>
@yield('metadata')
</head>
```

So now the author attribute will be called through this method instead.

## OpenGraph

```php
<?php App\Post;

use Dishark\Metaeloquent\Traits\MetaTrait;

class Post {
	use MetaTrait;

	protected $metaAttributes = [
		'author' => 'author',
		'description' => 'title',
		'keywords' => 'keywords',

		'og:title' => 'name',
		'og:image' => 'image',
		'og:type' => 'article',
		'og:url' => 'url'
	];

	public function getMetaImage()
	{
		return asset('images_path/' . $this->image);
	}

	public function getMetaUrl()
	{
		return route('articles', $this->slug);
	}
}
```
