3.0 Htmlhelper::meta() doesn't allow custom metatags to be added

[ghost]

v3.0 documentation states: "If you want to add a custom meta tag then the first parameter should be set to an array." However, if you set to an array it fails.

Code in view/layout:

echo $this->Html->meta(['name' => 'viewport', 'content' => 'width=device-width, initial-scale=1']);

Error

Warning (2): Illegal offset type in isset or empty [ROOT\vendor\cakephp\cakephp\src\View\Helper\HtmlHelper.php, line 223]

I was able to get the right output by added a check in the method like this (line 223)

if (is_array($type)) {
    // skip
} elseif (isset($types[$type])) {

Can the HTML Helper be fixed, or the documentation updated.

The documentation is incorrect. In the migration guide

HtmlHelper::meta() now requires $type to be a string. Additional options can further on be passed as $options.

With that said, there isn't a simple way to make a viewport meta tag. I'll add a better way to make viewport tags, as they are pretty common.

Or one can directly write them in HTML :)

The documentation has been updated to not lie in cakephp/docs@56f2abb

Closing as a viewport type has been added and the documentation has been updated.
