Add the package to your composer.json:
{
"require": {
"puzbie/meta": "^1.0"
}
}
Add the following to your config/app.php in the providers array:
'Puzbie\Meta\MetaServiceProvider',
You can also optionally add the following to the aliases array:
'Meta' => 'Puzbie\Meta\MetaFacade',
Basic Suggested Usage:
Use middleware to assign your default meta tags for all pages:
<?php namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
use Meta;
class MetaDefaults
{
/**
* Handle an incoming request.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* @param \Closure $next
* @return mixed
*/
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
Meta::setTag('charset', 'utf-8');
Meta::setTag('X-UA-Compatible', 'IE=edge');
Meta::setTag('viewport', 'width=device-width, initial-scale=1');
Meta::setTag('author', 'My Name');
Meta::setTag('csrf-token', csrf_token());
Meta::setTitle('My Site - The First Chapter');
Meta::setTag('description', 'If you are at a loss, we have the goss.');
return $next($request);
}
}
Notice that you can also set the TITLE tag. This is because you may want to duplicate it in certain social tags.
Also notice that the tags have been simplified. The package will expand them to produce the correct tags. For a full list of supported tags see the appendix. But here is an example:
Meta::setTag('charset', 'utf-8');
Meta::setTag('X-UA-Compatible', 'IE=edge');
Meta::setTag('author', 'My Name');
This will expand to:
<meta charset="utf-8"/>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content = "IE=edge"/>
<meta name="author" content = "My Name"/>
If your tag of choice isn't supported, then you can build it yourself by supplying a third parameter to setTag,
Meta::setTag('mood', 'happy','status');
This will expand to:
<meta status="mood" content = "happy"/>
Now, in your view template, add the following to the header section:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
{!! Meta::dump() !!}
...
So far so good. Suppose you want to change the description depending on what page you are on, or add product info tags etc?
Just add them after the middleware and before the dump. You can either add individual tags, or use some of the helper methods
included to generate social tags.
Meta::clear();
Meta::makeMozStandard(['title'=>'Your Site',
'url'=>'http://www.acesite.co.uk',
'description'=>'My Ace Site - its the best.',
'image'=>'http://www.acesite.co.uk/images/site.jpg',
'siteName'=>'My Ace Site',
'twitterId'=>'@MyTwitterId',
'creatorId'=>'@MyBlurbWritersTwitterId',
'fbAdmin'=>'12345678901234']);
The above example removes the default meta settings, and generates social tags defined in the STANDARD section of this site: https://moz.com/blog/meta-data-templates-123
I'm not affiliated with that site in any way, I just found it a useful source of information.
