This means that if you need also `$page->linkedin->shareCount` and `$page->plus->shareCount`, three requests are required. To improve performance, you can execute all these requests in parallel. Example: ``` $page = newPage(['url' => 'http://page.com']); //Preload the counters $page->shareCount(['linkedin', 'facebook', 'plus']); //Use them echo $page->facebook->shareCount; echo $page->linkedin->shareCount; echo $page->plus->shareCount; ``` ### Providers supported [](#providers-supported) NameCounterblogger-bluesky-bobrdobr-cabozo-chuzaYESclassroom-delicious-digg-email-evernote-facebookYESline-linkedinYESliveinternet-livejournal-mailruYESmeneameYESodnoklassnikiYESpinterest-plusYESpocket-redditYESscoopitYESsms-stumbleuponYEStelegram-threads-tumblr-twitter-viadeo-vk-whatsapp-xingYESGenerate social meta tags ------------------------- [](#generate-social-meta-tags) You can use this library to generate also the tags for opengraph, twitter cards, etc. Example: ``` //$page is the same variable than the example above //Use magic methods (instead magic properties) to get the objects with specific metas: $card = $page->twitterCard(); //The object is traversable: foreach($card as $tag) { echo $tag; } //You can get each tag by it's name (without prefix) echo $card['card']; // //Add/edit more metas $card->addMeta('author', '@the_author'); // ``` ### Meta supported [](#meta-supported) - html - openGraph - twitterCard - schema Usage in Symfony ---------------- [](#usage-in-symfony) There is a Symfony bundle available here: Contributions ------------- [](#contributions) - All code must be PSR-1 and PSR-2 compilance. You can use this [php cs-fixer](http://cs.sensiolabs.org/) - The providers class names must be in lowercase starting by uppercase. For example `Linkedin` instead `LinkedIn`. - Add the new providers to demo/index.php Thanks to: - [peric](https://github.com/peric) For adding Email provider and some fixes - [eusonlito](https://github.com/eusonlito) For some fixes - [perk](https://github.com/perk11) for adding new providers ### Health Score 50 — FairBetter than 96% of packages Maintenance38 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity51 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community28 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity69 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 81.1% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
