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.
{
"require": {
"rephlux/pagetitle": "0.1.*"
}
}If you are a Laravel user, then there is a service provider that you can make use of to automatically prepare the bindings and such.
// app/config/app.php
'providers' => [
'...',
'Rephlux\PageTitle\PageTitleServiceProvider'
];When this provider is booted, you'll have a nice little PageTitle facade, which you may use in your controllers and views.
public function index()
{
PageTitle::add('Hello there');
return View::make('hello');
}To add multiple page title parts at once just pass an array as parameter.
public function index()
{
PageTitle::add([
'Hello there',
'Profile'
]);
return View::make('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 an appropriate parameter.
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>{{ PageTitle:get('reverse') }}</title>
...
</head>If using Laravel, there are three configuration options that you'll need to worry about. First, publish the default configuration.
php artisan config:publish rephlux/pagetitleThis will add a new configuration file to: app/config/packages/rephlux/pagetitle.
<?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.
