So I run a Laravel 5.4 project and we have a system whereby each page would require separate META tags to correctly show when people tweet urls etc. So my question:
How do I go about injecting the below code into my head tags?
e.g. A new article might look like this:
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary">
<meta name="twitter:site" content="@mysite">
<meta name="twitter:title" content="News Article - Donald Trumps Twitter Deleted!">
<meta name="twitter:image" content="imageurl">
<meta name="twitter:description" content="Donald Trump lost access to his twitter for...">
<meta name="twitter:domain" content="https://www.example.com">
<meta name="description" content="Donald Trump lost access to his twitter for..."/>
<meta name="keywords" content="News, Donald, Trump, Media, Reporting, Urgent, Breaking, Twitter"/>
.
Whereas something for say a forum post would look like this:
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary">
<meta name="twitter:site" content="@mysite">
<meta name="twitter:title" content="Forum - Welcome to the forum!">
<meta name="twitter:image" content="imageurl">
<meta name="twitter:description" content="Hey there and welcome to our forum! For the chance to win $250 please...">
<meta name="twitter:domain" content="https://www.example.com">
<meta name="description" content="Hey there and welcome to our forum! For the chance to win $250 please..."/>
<meta name="keywords" content="Forum, Thread, Post, Win, Welcome, Twitter"/>
.
So, how? I'm so confused having spent an hour goolging this one!
Checkout the laravel docs about Template Inheritance (https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/blade#template-inheritance)
You can than inject the meta data into your <head></head> by using @section('title',$article->title) in your blade
Example of your situation:
<head>
<meta name="twitter:title" content="@yield('twitter_title')">
<meta name="twitter:image" content="@yield('twitter_image')">
</head>
In your blade:
@extends('layouts.layout') //This loads the default blade with your <head></head> section
@section('twitter_title',$article->title)
@section('twitter_image',$article->image)
