Laravel Meta Tags

With this package you can manage header Meta Tags from Laravel controllers.

Installation

From the command line run

$ composer require torann/laravel-meta-tags

    'MetaTag'   => Torann\LaravelMetaTags\Facades\MetaTag::class,

)

Publish the configurations

$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Torann\LaravelMetaTags\MetaTagsServiceProvider"

A configuration file will be publish to config/meta-tags.php.
