Often, you'll find yourself in situations, where you want to have more to control how to set a page title for your different views. Although it is possible to yield your page title in a master view it can be a hassle to deal with the format like a delimeter usage or to append/prepend a default page title.
This package simplifies the process.
Begin by installing this package through Composer:
composer require rephlux/pagetitleIf you are a Laravel user, then there is a service provider that need to add to your config/app.php file.
'providers' => [
'...',
Rephlux\PageTitle\PageTitleServiceProvider::class
];This package also provides a facade, which you may also register in your config/app.php as well if you want to use the facade in your controllers and views:
'aliases' => [
'...'
'PageTitle' => Rephlux\PageTitle\Facades\PageTitle::class,
]To simple add a single page title, call the appropiate add() method with passing a string as a parameter:
public function index()
{
\PageTitle::add('Welcome to our Homepage');
return view('hello');
}You can also make use of the global pagetitle helper function.
public function index()
{
pagetitle('Welcome to our Homepage');
return view('hello');
}To add multiple page title parts at once just pass an array as a parameter.
public function index()
{
pagetitle([
'About us',
'Profile'
]);
return view('hello');
}Now you can display the fully concatenated page title in your view. The best way is to use it in your master layout file.
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>{{ pagetitle->get() }}</title>
...
</head>To display the fully concatenated page title in reverse order just pass the reverse parameter.
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>{{ pagetitle->get(('reverse') }}</title>
...
</head>The downward mode first concatenates all page title parts in reverse order and then appends the page name ( if set in options )
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>{{ pagetitle->get(('downward') }}</title>
...
</head>If using Laravel, there are three configuration options that you'll need to worry about. First, publish the default configuration with the following command:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Rephlux\PageTitle\PageTitleServiceProvider"This will add a new configuration file to: config/pagetitle.php.
<?php
return [
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Page name
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Type your page name for your website.
| This will be used when there are more titles to concatenate with.
|
*/
'page_name' => '',
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Default title when empty
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This will be used when therer is no other title.
| Mainly used for the home page of your website.
|
*/
'default_title_when_empty' => '',
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Delimiter
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Titles will be concatenated using this delimiter.
|
*/
'delimiter' => ' :: '
];If you want you can enter your page name to this key if you want to append/prepend the name to your concatenated page title.
This text will be used when there is are no page title parts in the collection.
When you want to use a delimeter just update this key and add the string you want to use as an delimeter.
