You can use the composer package manager to install. From console run:
$ php composer.phar require parfumix/laravel-meta "v1.0"
or add to your composer.json file
"parfumix/laravel-meta": "v1.0"
You have to publish package files using
$ php artisan vendor:publish
And run :
$ php artisan migrate
To regiter package you have to follow standart procedure registering serviceProvider class and Facade. But for the first open your configuration file located in config/app.php and search for array of providers:
'providers' => [
// Add that line at the end of array ..
'Terranet\Metaable\MetaServiceProvider'
] And you can create an alias for that in the same file but looking for aliases array:
'aliases' => [
// Add that line at the end of array ..
'Meta' => 'Terranet\Metaable\MetaFacade',
] The benefits of that component is that you can use it separate from laravel or use HasTrait trait to store all the meta in database.
Let me show you the tips and tricks you can use to generate meta tags for one of the page.
use Meta;
class PageController extends Controller {
public function index(PageRepository $pageRepository) {
//set the meta using an array
Meta::fromArray([
'title' => 'Meta title',
'description' => 'Meta description'
'keywords' => ['keword', 'best site', 'bla bla']
]);
// or you can add using set
Meta::set('title', 'Meta title');
Meta::set('description', 'Meta description');
Meta::set('keywords', ['keword', 'best site', 'bla bla']);
// to delete some meta tags you have to use clear method. Be careful if you will not send any argument will
// be remove all meta tags ..
Meta::clear('title');
// use toArray method to get dump of meta tags
print( Meta::toArray() )
/**
array:2 [
"description" => "<meta name="description" content="Meta description">"
"keywords" => "<meta name="keywords" content="keword, best site, bla bla]"/>"
]
*/
// if you want to flush all meta tags use
Meta::flush();
}
}If you want use meta with eloquent open your model you want to use and follow code below
<?php namespace App;
use Terranet\Metaable\Entity\HasMeta;
use Terranet\Metaable\Entity\Metaable;
class Page extends Repository implements Metaable {
use HasMeta;
protected $table = "pages";
}And add your meta tags use fromEloquent method
use Meta;
class PageController extends Controller {
public function index(PageRepository $pageRepository) {
$page = $pageRepository->findBySlug('main-page');
// here you have to send eloquent instance which implements Metaable contract .
Meta::fromEloquent($page)
}
}and if you want to rendering meta attributes you have just opening your default layout and paste that code
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="ru">
<head>
@meta
</head>
<body>
@yield('content')
</body>
</html>
