Installation and Configuration

  1. Install the package: Use the following command to install the Meta Tags package in your awesome application.
composer require butschster/meta-tags
  1. Register the Service Provider: After installing the package, you must register its service provider.

You can do it using the following artisan command:

php artisan meta-tags:install

This command will activate the App\Providers\MetaTagsServiceProvider and publish the configuration at config/meta_tags.php. Within this configuration file, you can set default titles, keywords, descriptions, and other meta tags which will be automatically inserted into your HTML.

  1. Verification: Ensure that App\Providers\MetaTagsServiceProvider has been added to the providers array in your config/app.php configuration file. If it hasn't, you'll need to add it manually. Remember, if your application isn't using the App namespace, update the provider class name accordingly.

And that's all! Your Laravel project is now equipped to handle SEO meta tags with ease.

Usage

Controller

You can use either Facade \Butschster\Head\Facades\Meta or \Butschster\Head\Contracts\MetaTags\MetaInterface in your controller

use Butschster\Head\MetaTags\MetaInterface;

class HomeController extends Controller
{
    public function __contruct(
        protected MetaInterface $meta
    ) {
    }
    
    public function index()
    {
        $news = News::paginate();
        
        // Prepend title part to the default title
        $this->meta
        
            // Will render "Home page - Default Title"
           ->prependTitle('Home page')
           
           // Will include next, prev, canonical links
           ->setPaginationLinks($news)
           
           // Will change default favicon
           ->setFavicon('/favicon-index.ico')
    }
}

// Or you can use the facade

use Butschster\Head\Facades\Meta;

class HomeController extends Controller 
{
    public function index()
    {
        $news = News::paginate();
        
        Meta::prependTitle('Home page')
            ->setPaginationLinks($news)
            ->setFavicon('favicon-index.ico');
    }
}

View

To integrate meta tags into your HTML, simply insert {!! Meta::toHtml() !!} wherever required.

Note You have two options to insert meta tags: {!! Meta::toHtml() !!} or the Blade directive @meta_tags.

Here's an example of how you can use it in your view:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    {!! Meta::toHtml() !!}
</head>
...
</html>

Placements

The package provides flexibility to insert meta tags beyond the header. You can define specific placements in your templates.

  • To place meta tags in the footer, use: Meta::footer()->toHtml()
  • For custom placements, use: Meta::placement('placement_name')->toHtml()
  • Alternatively, the Blade directive can also be used: @meta_tags('placement_name')
<body>
...
{!! Meta::placement('middle_of_the_page')->toHtml() !!}
...
{!! Meta::footer()->toHtml() !!}
</body>

Packages

To avoid code repetition and improve code organization, you can group tags, assets, etc., into named packages. This allows for streamlined inclusion of sets of meta tags or assets where needed.

To create a new package:

  • Navigate to the Service provider.
  • Add your package within \App\Providers\MetaTagsServiceProvider.

To define packages, you can use the PackageManager::create method:

namespace App\Providers;

use Butschster\Head\Facades\PackageManager;
use Butschster\Head\Packages\Package;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

class MetaTagsServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider 
{
    ...
    protected function packages()
    {
       PackageManager::create('jquery', function(Package $package) {
          $package->addScript(
             'jquery.js', 
             'https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.min.js', 
             ['defer']
          );
       });
       
       PackageManager::create('calendar', function(Package $package) {
          $package->requires('jquery');
          $package->addScript(
             'fullcalendar.js', 
             'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@fullcalendar/core@4.0.1/main.min.js', 
             ['defer']
          )->addScript(
             'fullcalendar.locales.js', 
             'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@fullcalendar/core@4.0.1/locales-all.min.js', 
             ['defer']
          )->addStyle(
             'fullcalendar.css', 
             'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@fullcalendar/core@4.0.1/main.min.css'
          );
       });
    }

    ...
}

Using Packages in Controllers

When specific packages are required within a controller, you can include them by referencing the package name:

use Butschster\Head\Facades\Meta;

class EventsController extends Controller {

    public function show(Event $event)
    {
        // Will include all tags from calendar package
        Meta::includePackages(['calendar', ...]);
    }
}

Setting Global Packages

For packages that should be included on every page, you can define them in the config/meta_tags.php:

...
'packages' => [
    'jquery', 'calendar', ...
],
...

And there you have it! With these steps, handling and organizing meta tags and assets becomes a breeze.

Note All methods available in the Meta class can also be utilized alongside these package functions.

Register a custom tag Our package has a lot of ways of extending. One of them is creating new tags. You are able to create a new class and share it with friends or with the laravel community. You can also create a new pull request if you think that your awesome tag is really useful.

class FacebookPixelTag implements \Butschster\Head\Contracts\MetaTags\Entities\TagInterface {

    private $pixel_id;

    public function __construct(string $id)
    {
        $this->pixel_id = $id
    }
   
    public function getPlacement(): string
    {
        return 'footer'
    }

    public function toArray()
    {
        return [
            'type' => 'facebook_pixel_tag',
            'pixel_id' => $this->pixel_id
        ];
    }
    
    public function toHtml()
    {
        return '<script type="text/javascript">...</script>'
    }
}

Meta::addTag('facebook.pixel', new FacebookPixelTag('42b3h23-34234'));
// <script type="text/javascript">...</script>

Register tags from TagsCollection

$tags = new \Butschster\Head\MetaTags\TagsCollection([
    ...
]);
Meta::registerTags($tags);

// You can specify the placement 
Meta::registerTags($tags, 'footer');

Get a tag by name

Meta::getTag('author');

Register a new package and register all tags from this package

Meta::setTitle('Current title');

$package = new \Butschster\Head\Packages\Package('custom_package');
$package->setTitle('New title');

// Will replace "Current title" to "New title" after package registration
Meta::registerPackage($package);

Replace package with the same name When you replace package with a new one, old tags will be removed

$package->setTitle('Custom title');

// Will replace "Current title" to "New title" after package registration
Meta::registerPackage($package);

$package = Meta::getPackage('custom_package');

Using meta interfaces

A package has different interfaces which help you set meta tags from your objects

Seo tags

namespace App;
use Butschster\Head\Contracts\MetaTags\SeoMetaTagsInterface;
use Butschster\Head\Contracts\MetaTags\RobotsTagsInterface;

class Page extends Model implements SeoMetaTagsInterface, RobotsTagsInterface {

    public function getTitle(): ?string
    {
        return $this->title;
    }

    public function getDescription(): ?string
    {
        return $this->description;
    }

    public function getKeywords()
    {
        return $this->keywords;
    }

    public function getRobots(): ?string
    {
        return 'noindex, nofollow';
    }
}

// Controller
use Butschster\Head\Facades\Meta;

class PageController extends Controller {

    public function show(\App\Page $page)
    {
        Meta::setMetaFrom($page);
    }
}

Meta extending

Meta object contains Macroable trait and you can extend it!

For example

//Service Provider
Meta::macro('registerSeoMetaTagsForPage', function (\App\Page $page) {
    $this
        ->prependTitle($page->title)
        ->setKeywords($page->meta_keywords)
        ->setDescription($page->meta_description);
 
});

// Controller
use Butschster\Head\Facades\Meta;

class PageController extends Controller {

    public function show(\App\Page $page)
    {
        Meta::registerSeoMetaTagsForPage($page);
    }
}

A little bit infirmation about macroable trait https://unnikked.ga/understanding-the-laravel-macroable-trait-dab051f09172

Meta tags placements

By default, tags place to head placement. You can specify your own placement and use their all available methods.

Meta::placement('twitter.meta')
    ->addMeta('twitter:card', [
        'content' => 'summary_large_image',
    ])
    ->includePackages('twitter')

// There is the method for footer placement
Meta::footer()->...
    
// View
<body>
    ...
    @meta_tags('twitter.meta')
    ...
    
    @meta_tags('footer')
</body>

Package

A package object has the same methods as Meta object. You can use it for extending and creating custom tags sets.

\Butschster\Head\Packages\Package

  • This class extend Butschster\Head\MetaTags\Meta class
  • This class implements Illuminate\Contracts\Support\Htmlable interface

Create a new package and register it in PackageManager

PackageManager::register($package);

// or
PackageManager::create('jquery', function($package) {
    ...
});

Get the name of the package

$package = new \Butschster\Head\Packages\Package('jquery');

$package->getName(); // jquery

Add a link to a css file

$package = new \Butschster\Head\Packages\Package('jquery');

$package->addStyle('style.css', 'http://site.com/style.css');
// <link media="all" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="http://site.com/style.css" />


// You can change or add attributes
$package->addStyle('style.css', 'http://site.com/style.css', [
    'media' => 'custom', 'defer', 'async'
]);

// <link media="custom" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="http://site.com/style.css" defer async />

Add a link to a script file

$package = new \Butschster\Head\Packages\Package('jquery');

$package->addScript('script.js', 'http://site.com/script.js');
// <script src="http://site.com/script.js"></script>

// You can change or add attributes
$package->addScript('script.js', 'http://site.com/script.js', ['async', 'defer', 'id' => 'hj2b3424iu2-dfsfsd']);
// <script src="http://site.com/script.js" async defer id="hj2b3424iu2-dfsfsd"></script>

// You can placement. By default it's footer
$package->addScript('script.js', 'http://site.com/script.js', [], 'custom_placement');
// <script src="http://site.com/script.js" async defer id="hj2b3424iu2-dfsfsd"></script>

Meta::includePackages('jquery')->placement('custom_placement')->toHtml();

Use cases

Multiple favicons

You can use your own package for that.

At first create your package in the MetaTagsServiceProvider App\Providers\MetaTagsServiceProvider

namespace App\Providers;

use Butschster\Head\MetaTags\Entities\Favicon;
use Butschster\Head\MetaTags\Entities\ConditionalComment;
use Butschster\Head\Facades\PackageManager;
use Butschster\Head\Packages\Package;

class MetaTagsServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider {

    ...
    
    protected function packages()
    {
        PackageManager::create('favicons', function(Package $package) {
            $sizes = ['16x16', '32x32', '64x64'];
    
            foreach ($sizes as $size) {
                $package->addTag(
                    'favicon.'.$size, 
                    new Favicon('http://site.com/favicon-'.$size.'.png', [
                        'sizes' => $size
                    ])
                );
            }
    
            $package->addTag('favicon.ie', new ConditionalComment(
                new Favicon('http://site.com/favicon-ie.png'), 'IE gt 6'
            ));
        });
    }
    
    ...
}

And then append this package into packages section in config/meta_tags.php:

...
'packages' => [
    'favicons'
],
...

And the every page you will see in the head seaction something like that:

<head>
    ...
    <title>...</title>
    <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="http://site.com/favicon-16x16.png" sizes="16x16"/>
    <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="http://site.com/favicon-32x32.png" sizes="32x32"/>
    <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="http://site.com/favicon-64x64.png" sizes="64x64"/>
    <!--[if IE gt 6]>
    <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="http://site.com/favicon-ie.png" />
    <![endif]-->
    ...
</head>

Extending

If you want to extend Meta class you can do it in the App\Providers\MetaTagsServiceProvider. Just override registerMeta method.

namespace App\Providers;

use Butschster\Head\MetaTags\Meta;
use Butschster\Head\Contracts\MetaTags\MetaInterface;
use Butschster\Head\Contracts\Packages\ManagerInterface;

class MetaTagsServiceProvider {

    ...

    protected function registerMeta(): void
    {
        $this->app->singleton(MetaInterface::class, function () {
            $meta = new Meta(
                $this->app[ManagerInterface::class],
                $this->app['config']
            );
    
    
            // It just an imagination, you can automatically 
            // add favicon if it exists
            if (file_exists(public_path('favicon.ico'))) {
                $meta->setFavicon('/favicon.ico');
            }
    
            $meta->includePackages('fonts', 'assets');
            
            // This method gets default values from config and creates tags
            // If you don't want to use default values just remove it.
            $meta->initialize();
    
            return $meta;
        });
    }

    ...
}

Using with inertiajs or vue-meta

You can easily convert Meta object to array ant the use values in your Js project

$meta = Meta::setTitle('Laravel')
    ->setDescription('Awesome page')
    ->setKeywords('php, laravel, ...');

dd($meta->toArray());

[
    'head' => [
        [
            'tag' => 'title',
            'content' => 'Laravel',
        ],
        [
            'name' => 'description',
            'content' => 'Awesome page',
            'type' => 'tag',
            'tag' => 'meta',
        ],
        [
            'name' => 'keywords',
            'content' => 'php, laravel, ...',
            'type' => 'tag',
            'tag' => 'meta',
        ],
    ]
]

Example for inertiaJs

use Inertia\Inertia;
use Butschster\Head\MetaTags\MetaInterface;
use Butschster\Head\Hydrator\VueMetaHydrator;

class EventsController extends Controller
{
    protected $meta;
 
    public function __contruct(MetaInterface $meta)
    {
        $this->meta = $meta;
    }
    
    public function show(Event $event, VueMetaHydrator $hydrator)
    {
        $this->meta->setTitle('Laravel')
            ->setDescription('Awesome page')
            ->setKeywords('php, laravel, ...');
    
        return Inertia::render('Event/Show', [
            'event' => $event->only('id', 'title', 'start_date', 'description'),
            
            // this.$page.props.meta...
            'meta' => $hydrator->hydrate($this->meta)
        ]);
    }
}
