MetaTags
========

[](#metatags)

An extension for GErcoli/HTMLTags to make managing common meta tags easier.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Include this into your composer.json file:

```
{
    "require": {
        "gercoli/metatags": "dev-master"
    }
}
```

Using the class
---------------

[](#using-the-class)

The MetaTags class uses fully qualified name spaces, so for easier use, add `use GErcoli\MetaTags\MetaTags` into your php file. Secondly, the class has been designed to be used statically and the various setter methods can be chained together.

### Example of a simple tag

[](#example-of-a-simple-tag)

```
    MetaTags::setTitle("This is the page title");

    echo MetaTags::getTitle();
    // output:
    // "This is the page title"

    MetaTags::renderTitle();
    // output:
    // This is the page title

    MetaTags::setCharset("UTF-8")
        ->setDescription("This is the page \"description\".")
        ->renderAll();
    // output:
    //
    //  This is the page title
    //
```

### Custom tags

[](#custom-tags)

It is inevitable that there will tags that you need to output/render that do not have easy-to-access class methods, for this purpose I've added the addCustomTag(HTMLTag) method, where you can use the dependant class [\\GErcoli\\HTMLTags\\HTMLTag](https://github.com/Gercoli/HTMLTags) to create an HTMLTag and insert it manually.

```
    // Create the custom tag via the HTMLTag class:
    $tag = (new HTMLTag("meta"))
        ->setAttribute("http-equiv","Content-Language")
        ->setAttribute("content","en");

    // Add the created tag to the MetaTags object,
    // and render only the very last tag that was added:
    MetaTags::addCustomTag($tag)->renderLast();

    // output:
    //
```
