A plugin to automatically generate titles for web pages using routes from the HTTP request url.

This plugin will automatically generate a working title using values such as the request's `controller`, `action`, `prefix` if there is one and the `app name` if you provide one.

You can set our own format by configuring the Component when loading it in your application.

Version map:
------------

[](#version-map)

PluginBranchCakePHP2.xmain5.x^8.11.x1.x4.x^7.4 | ^8.0### Configuration options:

[](#configuration-options)

- `format` - How the generated title should be formatted. See valid placeholders below.
    - Default format: `{{prefix} - }{{controller} - }{{action} - }{{displayField}}{ » {appName}}`
    - Example generated: Admin - Files Types - View - PDF » CakePHP application
- `appName` - Your application's name. Used as replacement for the `appName` placeholder.
- `ignoreIndex` - If true, and the requested action is `index`, then the action will not be placed in the title
- `showDisplayFieldOnView` - If true, the display field value (e.g. the files type's name) will be placed in the title.

### Valid placeholders:

[](#valid-placeholders)

- `appName` - Will be replaced by the app's name, if you provide one in the component's configuration
- `controller` - Will be replaced by the requested controller
- `action` - Will be replaced by the requested action
- `prefix` - Will be replaced by the requested prefix, if there is one.
- `displayField` - If your action stores an entity variable in the view, the component attempts to get the entity's display field value to display in the title
    - For example: If you have a table called Tools and the display field is the tool's name, it will place the tool's name in the title.
    - The display field value is not fetched on its own from the database. It attempts to find a view var in which to get the value from.
    - Please note that the entity variable must be named using cake's convention. A Tool entity variable must be `$tool`. A FilesType entity must be named `$filesType`.

### Usage:

[](#usage)

#### In your Application.php file:

[](#in-your-applicationphp-file)

```
    // On the top, with your other use statements
    use Avolle\Title\Plugin as TitlePlugin;

    /**
     * Boostrap method. Load required plugins
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function bootstrap(): void
    {
        $this->addPlugin(TitlePlugin::class, ['autload' => true]);
    }

```

#### In your AppController.php file:

[](#in-your-appcontrollerphp-file)

```
    /**
     * Initialization hook method.
     *
     * @return void
     * @throws \Exception
     */
    public function initialize(): void
    {
        parent::initialize();

        $this->loadComponent('Avolle/Title.Title', [
            'appName' => 'Title App',
            'format' => '{{prefix} - }{{controller} - }{{action} - }{{displayField}}{ » {appName}}',
            'ignoreIndex' => false,
            'showDisplayFieldOnView' => true,
