Integration & Usage

Usage in Eloquent models: `app/Models/Article.php`

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;
    //...
}

Controller example: app/Http/Controllers/ArticleController.php

Using the `MetaTag` facade in controllers: `app/Http/Controllers/ArticleController.php`

<?php 

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use MetaTag;

class ArticleController extends Controller 
{
    public function index()
    {
        $articles = \App\Models\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
        $article = \App\Models\Article::create($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);
        
        // Set tags for showing
        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',
				'h1' => $article->title,   
			]);
        
        return view('show', compact('article'));
    }

    public function search(Request $request)
    {
        $articles = \App\Models\Article::bySearch($request->q)
            ->paginate();
        
        // Set tags for showing
        MetaTag::setPath()  // if argument `setPath()` is empty (or not set) - path = `request()->path()`
            ->setDefault([
                'title' => 'Search page',
                'robots' => 'noindex',
                'og_title' => 'Search page OG',
                'twitter_title' => 'Search page Twitter',
                'canonical' => 'page/search',
            ]);
        
        return view('index', compact('articles'));
    }
}

For the package to work correctly, store only the URL path in the path field (without domain), with slashes trimmed (/).

Example:

https://site.com/some/pages/?page=23 => some/pages
https://site.com/some/pages => /

Using the `MetaTag` facade in Blade templates: `resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php`

Simple and efficient:

<!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>

Or output one by one manually:

<!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>

Another example: resources/views/articles/show.blade.php

@extends('layouts.app')
@section('content')
	<h1>{!! MetaTag::tag('title') !!}</h1>
	<div>{!! $article->body !!}</div>
	<div>{{ MetaTag::tag('seo_text') }}</div>
@endsection

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(['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() 
!!}
