Tips
- Friendly Interface
- Ease of set titles and meta tags
- Ease of set metas for twitter and opengraph
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 artesaos/seotools
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
// file START ommited
'providers' => [
// other providers ommited
Artesaos\SEOTools\Providers\SEOToolsServiceProvider::class,
],
// file END ommited
Go to /bootstrap/app.php
file and add this line:
// file START ommited
$app->register(Artesaos\SEOTools\Providers\SEOToolsServiceProvider::class);
// file END ommited
Facades are not supported in Lumen.
In order to use the SEOMeta
facade, you need to register it on the config/app.php
file, you can do that the following way:
// file START ommited
'aliases' => [
// other Facades ommited
'SEOMeta' => Artesaos\SEOTools\Facades\SEOMeta::class,
'OpenGraph' => Artesaos\SEOTools\Facades\OpenGraph::class,
'Twitter' => Artesaos\SEOTools\Facades\TwitterCard::class,
// or
'SEO' => Artesaos\SEOTools\Facades\SEOTools::class,
],
// file END ommited
In your terminal type
php artisan vendor:publish
or
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Artesaos\SEOTools\Providers\SEOToolsServiceProvider"
Lumen does not support this command, for it you should copy the file
src/resources/config/seotools.php
toconfig/seotools.php
of your project
In seotools.php
configuration file you can determine the properties of the default values and some behaviors.
- 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.
- 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.
Facades are not supported in Lumen.
$seotools = app('seotools');
$metatags = app('seotools.metatags');
$twitter = app('seotools.twitter');
$opengraph = app('seotools.opengraph');
// The behavior is the same as the facade
// --------
echo app('seotools')->generate();
With SEOMeta you can create meta tags to the head
With OpenGraph you can create opengraph tags to the head
With Twitter you can create opengraph tags to the head
