turahe/seotools

This package generates valid and useful meta tags straight out-of-the-box, with limited initial configuration, whilst still providing a simple, but powerful API to work with.

Features

• Friendly simple interface
• Easy of set titles and meta tags
• Easy of set metas for Twitter Cards and Open Graph
• Easy of set for JSON Linked Data

Requirements

• PHP 8.3 or higher
• Laravel 11 or 12

Installation

1 - Dependency

The first step is using composer to install the package and automatically update your composer.json file, you can do this by running:

composer require turahe/seotools

Note: This package supports Laravel 11 and 12. The steps 2 and 3, for providers and aliases, are unnecessary as SEOTools supports Laravel's Package Discovery.

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:

config/app.php

<?php

return [
    // ...
    'providers' => [
        Turahe\SEOTools\Providers\SEOToolsServiceProvider::class,
        // ...
    ],
    // ...
];

Lumen

Go to /bootstrap/app.php file and add this line:

<?php
// ...

$app = new Laravel\Lumen\Application(
    dirname(__DIR__)
);

// ...

$app->register(Turahe\SEOTools\Providers\SEOToolsServiceProvider::class);

// ...

return $app;

3 - Facades

Note: facades are not supported in Lumen.

You may get access to the SEO tool services using following facades:

• Turahe\SEOTools\Facades\Tools
• Turahe\SEOTools\Facades\OpenGraph
• Turahe\SEOTools\Facades\TwitterCard
• Turahe\SEOTools\Facades\JsonLd
• Turahe\SEOTools\Facades\JsonLdMulti
• Turahe\SEOTools\Facades\SEOTools

You can setup a short-version aliases for these facades in your config/app.php file. For example:

<?php

return [
    // ...
    'aliases' => [
        'Meta'       => Turahe\SEOTools\Facades\Tools::class,
        'OpenGraph'     => Turahe\SEOTools\Facades\OpenGraph::class,
        'Twitter'       => Turahe\SEOTools\Facades\TwitterCard::class,
        'JsonLd'        => Turahe\SEOTools\Facades\JsonLd::class,
        'JsonLdMulti'   => Turahe\SEOTools\Facades\JsonLdMulti::class,

        // or
        'SEO' => Turahe\SEOTools\Facades\SEOTools::class,
        // ...
    ],
    // ...
];

4 Configuration

Publish config

In your terminal type

php artisan vendor:publish

or

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Turahe\SEOTools\Providers\SEOToolsServiceProvider"

Lumen does not support this command, for it you should copy the file config/seotools.php to config/seotools.php of your project

In seotools.php configuration file you can determine the properties of the default values and some behaviors.

seotools.php

• meta
  • defaults - What values are displayed if not specified any value for the page display. If the value is false, nothing is displayed.
  • webmaster - Are the settings of tags values for major webmaster tools. If you are null nothing is displayed.
• opengraph
  • defaults - Are the properties that will always be displayed and when no other value is set instead. You can add additional tags that are not included in the original configuration file.
• twitter
  • defaults - Are the properties that will always be displayed and when no other value is set instead. You can add additional tags that are not included in the original configuration file.
• json-ld
  • defaults - Are the properties that will always be displayed and when no other value is set instead. You can add additional tags that are not included in the original configuration file.

Usage

Lumen Usage

Note: facades are not supported in Lumen.

<?php

$seotools = app('seotools');
$seotools = app('seotools.meta');
$twitter = app('seotools.twitter');
$opengraph = app('seotools.opengraph');
$jsonld = app('seotools.json-ld');
$jsonldMulti = app('seotools.json-ld-multi');

// The behavior is the same as the facade

echo app('seotools')->generate();

Meta tags Generator

With SEOMeta you can create meta tags to the head
