Set Dynamic Title & Description in Laravel Blade App
In this article, I’m going to show how to set dynamic title and meta description in the Laravel with blade view application. Let’s get started:
Table of Contents
Modify App Layout
Open your application layout view file from resources/views folder. Then replace title, description tags with this:
<title>{{ isset($title) ? $title . ' - ' . config('app.name', 'Laravel') : config('app.name', 'Laravel') }}</title>
<meta name="description" content="{{ isset($description) ? $description : 'Default description.' }}">So, the app layout looks like:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="{{ str_replace('_', '-', app()->getLocale()) }}">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<!-- CSRF Token -->
<meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">
<!-- Dynamic title and description -->
<title>{{ isset($title) ? $title . ' - ' . config('app.name', 'Laravel') : config('app.name', 'Laravel') }}</title>
<meta name="description" content="{{ isset($description) ? $description : 'Default description.' }}">
<!-- Scripts -->
<script src="{{ asset('js/app.js') }}" defer></script>
<!-- Fonts -->
<link rel="dns-prefetch" href="//fonts.gstatic.com">
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Nunito" rel="stylesheet">
<!-- Styles -->
<link href="{{ asset('css/app.css') }}" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<main>
@yield('content')
</main>
</body>
</html>Pass Meta Data from Controller
Now we’ll use title, description from controller. Have a look at the example:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class PageController extends Controller
{
/**
* home.
*/
public function home()
{
$title = "Home";
$description = "This is home page";
return view('home', compact('title', 'description'));
}
/**
* about.
*/
public function about()
{
$title = "About";
$description = "This is about page";
return view('about', compact('title', 'description'));
}
}Have a look at the home.blade.php file:
@extends('layouts.app')
@section('content')
<div class="container">
<div class="row justify-content-center">
<div class="col-md-8">
<div class="card">
<div class="card-header">{{ $title }}</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
@endsectionDone. Now you can visit home, about page and have a look at the title. You can also inspect to see the title and description.
That’s all. Thanks for reading.
