\#Meta

A package that makes it easy to add meta tags to your views. This is a fork of Ryan Nielson's original package that does not include any framework-specific code.

This package will work in any PHP application.

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

[](#installation)

Run the following Composer command in your terminal, or simply add `"mattyg/meta": "2.1.*"` to your composer.json file:

```
composer require mattyg/meta

```

Then update Composer from the terminal:

```
composer update

```

That's it!

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To set meta tag values, you will use the `set(array())` method on the Meta instance. Just pass this Meta object around to persist the set values.

```
$meta = new \RyanNielson\Meta\Meta;

// Example #1 - Basic setting of values
$meta->set(array("title" => "Page Title", "description" => "Page Description", "keywords" => array("great", "site")));

// Example #2 - Setting nested values. This will render tags with names like og:title and og:description
$meta->set(array("title" => "Page Title", "og" => array("title" => "OG Title", "description" => "OG Description")));

```

To display your meta tags using the set values, you will use the `display(array())` function on your Meta object.:

```
$meta->display();

// Displaying Example #1 from above

// Displaying Example #2 from above

```

The display function also accepts an array of default values. These will be used when displaying your meta tags if a value is not set already using `set()`.
