README

With this package you can manage header Meta Tags from Laravel controllers.

Installation

From the command line run

$ composer require siberfx/lara-meta

The service provider and the MetaTag facade are auto-discovered, so no manual registration is required on Laravel 12 / 13. The package configuration is merged automatically, so the package works out of the box without publishing anything.

Publish the configurations

Publishing is only needed if you want to customise the defaults. Run this on the command line from the root of your project:

$ php artisan vendor:publish --tag=meta-tags-config

or, equivalently:

$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Siberfx\LaraMeta\MetaTagsServiceProvider"

A configuration file will be published to config/meta-tags.php.

Twitter Cards and OpenGraph

Various settings for these options can be found in the config/meta-tags.php file.

Twitter Cards

{!! MetaTag::twitterCard() !!}

OpenGraph

{!! MetaTag::openGraph() !!}
