Documentation

Meta keywords

In your controller you can set keywords, description or another custom meta tags

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use SEO;

class HomeController extends Controller {
  public function index() {
    SEO::setKeywords("foo, bar, foobar");
  }
}

and in template

{!! SEO::getKeywords() !!} 
{{# result is <meta name="keywords" content="foo, bar, foobar" /> #}}

you can append keywords with using a same command

SEO::setKeywords("append, to, the, keywords");
{{# result in template is <meta name="keywords" content="foo, bar, foobar, append, to, the, keywords" /> #}}

This generate sitemap instantly without files

routes.php

Route::get("/sitemap.xml", function() {
    $seo = App::make("seo");
    $seo->setURL("http://example.com");
    $seo->addItem("/home");
    $seo->addItem("/some", '+1 day');
    $seo->addItem("/blue");
    $output = $seo->render();

    return (new Response($output))->header("Content-type", "text/xml");

})->name('sitemap');

output is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
  <url>
    <loc>http://example.com/home</loc>
    <lastmod>2016-07-31</lastmod>
    <priority>0.5</priority>
    <changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
  </url>
  <url>
    <loc>http://example.com/some</loc>
    <lastmod>2016-08-01</lastmod>
    <priority>0.5</priority>
    <changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
  </url>
  <url>
    <loc>http://example.com/blue</loc>
    <lastmod>2016-07-31</lastmod>
    <priority>0.5</priority>
    <changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
  </url>
</urlset>

again routes.php

Route::get("/sitemap-index.xml", function() {
    $seo = App::make("seo");
    $seo->setPath(route("sitemap"));
    $output = $seo->renderIndex();

    return (new Response($output))->header("Content-type", "text/xml");
});

and output is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
  <sitemap>
    <loc>http://example.com/public/sitemap.xml</loc>
    <lastmod>2016-07-31T03:42:38+00:00</lastmod>
  </sitemap>
</sitemapindex>

Robots.txt

Route::get("/robots.txt", function() {
    $seo = App::make("seo");
    $seo->addUserAgent();
    $seo->addDisallow("/assets");
    $seo->addSitemap(route("sitemap"));
    $seo->addNoIndex("/path");
    $output = $seo->getRobot();
    return (new Response($output))->header("Content-type", "text/plain");
});

and the magic output is:

Sitemap: http://example.com/public/sitemap.xml
