Laravel Meta Tags
With this package you can manage header Meta Tags from Laravel controllers.
Installation
From the command line run
$ composer require zanysoft/laravel-meta-tags
Once Meta Tags is installed you need to register the service provider with the application. Open up config/app.php and find the providers key.

)
Meta Tags also ships with a facade which provides the static syntax for creating collections. You can register the facade in the aliases key of your config/app.php file.
'aliases' => array(
'MetaTag' => ZanySoft\LaravelMetaTags\Facades\MetaTag::class,
)
Publish the configurations
Run this on the command line from the root of your project:
$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="ZanySoft\LaravelMetaTags\MetaTagsServiceProvider"
A configuration file will be publish to config/meta-tags.php.
