LeogoutSeoBundle

This bundle provides a simple and flexible API to manage search engine optimization (SEO) tags in your application. Its main goal is to make it simple for you to manage the most common meta, open graph and twitter card tags and to let you configure less common ones with ease.

Installation

Install the bundle with the command:

composer require leogout/seo-bundle

class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
    public function registerBundles()
    {
        $bundles = array(
            // ...
            new Leogout\Bundle\SeoBundle\LeogoutSeoBundle(),
        );
    }
}

Configuration

These configuration values are the defaults used to render your tags. See the next section to learn how to override them dynamically.

There are four sections in the config:

general: The global configuration. Its values are shared among the other as defaults.
basic: A set of the most common SEO tags.
og: A set of open graph tags based on http://ogp.me/.
twitter: A set of twitter card tags based on https://dev.twitter.com/cards/types

See "Configuration reference" to get the whole configuration.

In your config.yml:

leogout_seo:
    general:
        title: Default title
        description: Default description.
        image: http://images.com/poneys/12/large # This one is shared by open graph and twitter only
    basic:
        title: Awesome title
        keywords: default, keywords
    og:
        type: website
        url: http://test.com/articles
    twitter:
        card: summary
        site: '@leogoutt'

In your view:

<head>
    {{ leogout_seo() }}
</head>

NOTE: _You can provide a generator name to the leogout_seo() twig method to render it specifically. For example, to render the basic seo generator, you can use leogout_seo('basic')._

The result:

<head>
    <title>Awesome title</title>
    <meta name="description" content="Default description." />
    <meta name="keywords" content="default, keywords" />
    <meta name="og:title" content="Default title" />
    <meta name="og:description" content="Default description." />
    <meta name="og:image" content="http://test.com/articles" />
    <meta name="og:type" content="website" />
    <meta name="twitter:title" content="Default title" />
    <meta name="twitter:description" content="Default description." />
    <meta name="twitter:image" content="http://images.com/poneys/12/large" />
    <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary" />
    <meta name="twitter:site" content="@leogoutt" />
</head>

NOTE: By default, the SEO generators aren't loaded if you don't require them in the config. However, if you want to use the associated generators without configuring any default values (or configuring only the general ones), you can use this notation:

leogout_seo:
   general:
       title: Default title
       description: Default description.
       image: http://images.com/poneys/12/large # This one is shared by open graph and twitter only
   basic: ~
   og: ~
   twitter: ~

Setting values dynamically

You can get the '[basic|twitter|og] as a service to set or override any values. Each value of the configuration can be overrided using a setter of the following form: $this->get('leogout_seo.provider.generator')->get(' [basic|twitter|og] ')->set [config field name] ( [value] )

For example, if you want to change title and robots from basic, you can do this:

class DefaultController extends Controller
{
    public function indexAction()
    {
        $this->get('leogout_seo.provider.generator')->get('basic')
            ->setTitle('Title set in controller')
            ->setRobots(true, false); // they can be chained

        return $this->render('AppBundle:Default:index.html.twig');
    }
}

Setting values from a resource

You can configure your own model classes to let the seo generators do all the work thanks to the fromResource() method. Multiple interfaces are available to help the method guess which setters to call to fill the tags.

This is an exemple for the basic generator: In your resource:

use Leogout\Bundle\SeoBundle\Seo\Basic\BasicSeoInterface;

class MyResource implements BasicSeoInterface
{
    protected $name;
    protected $description;
    protected $tags = [];

    // ...Your logic

    // These methods are from BasicSeoInterface and have to
    // return a string (or an object with a __toString() method).
    public function getSeoTitle()
    {
        return $this->name; 
    }
    public function getSeoDescription()
    {
        return $this->description; 
    }
    public function getSeoKeywords()
    {
        return implode(',', $this->tags); 
    }
}

In your controller:

class MyController extends Controller
{
    public function indexAction(Request $request)
    {
        $myResource = new MyResource();
        $myResource
            ->setName('Cool resource')
            ->setDescription('Some description')
            ->addKeyword('hey')
            ->addKeyword('ho')
            ->addKeyword('let's go!');

        $this->get('leogout_seo.provider.generator')->get('basic')->fromResource($myResource);

        return $this->render('MyController:Default:index.html.twig');
    }
}

In your view:

<head>
    {{ leogout_seo('basic') }}
</head>

The result:

<head>
    <title>Cool resource</title>
    <meta name="description" content="Some description" />
    <meta name="keywords" content="hey,ho,let's go!" />
</head>

There are three main interfaces, one for each generator:

BasicSeoInterface for basic
OgSeoInterface for og
TwitterSeoInterface for twitter

These interfaces extends simpler interfaces which you can inplement instead or additionnally. For example, if you only have a meta description on your resource, you can implement DescriptionSeoInterface only to provide a description alone. This is the list of the different interfaces and what they extends:

	TitleSeoInterface	DescriptionSeoInterface	KeywordsSeoInterface	ImageSeoInterface
BasicSeoInterface	X	X	X
OgSeoInterface	X	X		X
TwitterSeoInterface	X	X		X

Advanced usage

If the built-in generators don't suit your needs, LeogoutSeoBundle provides a way to create your own SEO generators. First, you have to create a class that extends the AbstractSeoGenerator class:

use Leogout\Bundle\SeoBundle\Seo\AbstractSeoGenerator;

class MyTagsGenerator extends AbstractSeoGenerator
{
    public function setMyTag($content)
    {
        $this->tagBuilder->addMeta('myTag')
            ->setType(MetaTag::NAME_TYPE)
            ->setValue('myAwesomeTag')
            ->setContent((string) $content);

        return $this;
    }

    public function getMyTag()
    {
        return $this->tagBuilder->getMeta('myTag');
    }
}

Then, register it as a service and add it a leogout_seo.generator tag and a custom alias. Don't forget the @leogout_seo.builder dependency:

services:
    app.seo_generator.my_tags:
        class:     AppBundle\Generator\MyTagsGenerator
        arguments: [ '@leogout_seo.builder' ] # This is required
        tags: { name: leogout_seo.generator, alias: my_tags }

That's it, now you can use it alongside the others:

In your controller:

class MyController extends Controller
{
    public function indexAction(Request $request)
    {
        $this->get('leogout_seo.provider.generator')->get('my_tags')->setMyTag('cool');

        return $this->render('MyController:Default:index.html.twig');
    }
}

In your view:

<head>
    {{ leogout_seo('my_tags') }}
</head>

Result:

<head>
    <meta name="myAwesomeTag" content="cool" />
</head>

Many thanks to the ARCANEDEV/SEO-Helper who authorized me to take some ideas from their library and to KnpMenuBundle which inspired me for the Providers APIs.
