Meta Eloquent is an eloquent booster that allows it to easily manage HTTP Meta tags.
Using composer, execute the following command to automatically update your composer.json:
composer require dishark/metaeloquent
or manually update your composer.json file
{
"require": {
"dishark/metaeloquent": "dev-master"
}
}
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:
// file START omitted
'providers' => [
// other providers omitted
'Dishark\Metaeloquent\MetaEloquentServiceProvider',
],
// file END omitted#Usage
Make sure to use Dishark\Metaeloquent\Traits\MetaTrait in your model. Then declare the $metaAttributes property specifying the metatag as the key and the column as the value.
Example 1:
<?php App\Post;
use Dishark\Metaeloquent\Traits\MetaTrait;
class Post {
use MetaTrait;
protected $metaAttributes = [
'author' => 'author',
'description' => 'title',
'keywords' => 'keywords',
];
}
```
Sometimes the column isn't enough. Let's create some Meta accessor:
Example 2:
```php
<?php App\Post;
use Dishark\Metaeloquent\Traits\MetaTrait;
class Post {
use MetaTrait;
protected $metaAttributes = [
'author' => 'author',
'description' => 'title',
'keywords' => 'keywords',
];
public function getMetaAuthor()
{
return $this->author->name;
}
}
```
## View
In your view:
```php
@extends ('layout')
@section ('metadata')
{!! $post->meta() !!}
@endsection
```
The layout:
```php
<head>
@yield('metadata')
</head>
```
So now the author attribute will be called through this method instead.

```php
<?php App\Post;
use Dishark\Metaeloquent\Traits\MetaTrait;
class Post {
use MetaTrait;
protected $metaAttributes = [
'author' => 'author',
'description' => 'title',
'keywords' => 'keywords',
'og:title' => 'name',
'og:image' => 'image',
'og:type' => 'article',
'og:url' => 'url'
];
public function getMetaImage()
{
return asset('images_path/' . $this->image);
}
public function getMetaUrl()
{
return route('articles', $this->slug);
}
}
```
