# Seorel
Ruby on Rails SEO Metatags plugins for ActiveRecord models
[](https://badge.fury.io/rb/seorel)
[](https://codeclimate.com/github/dalpo/seorel)
[](https://travis-ci.org/dalpo/seorel)
## Rails Setup
`Gemfile.rb`:
```ruby
gem 'seorel', '~> 0.5.0'
# the edge version can be had using:
# gem 'seorel', github: 'dalpo/seorel'
```
`Console`:
```bash
$ bundle install
$ bundle exec rails generate seorel:install
$ bundle exec rake db:migrate
```
It will generate the `seorel.rb` initializer and a new migration.
### Configurations
You could change default meta tags values into the seorel initializer:
```ruby
Seorel.configure do |config|
config.default_title = 'My default page title goes here'
# config.default_prepend_title = nil
config.default_append_title = ' / Every title will be appended with this string'
config.default_description = 'Lorem ipsum sit dolor...'
# config.default_prepend_description = nil
# config.default_append_description = nil
config.default_keywords = 'RUBY ON RAILS,SEO,METATAGS'
config.default_image = 'http://www.example.com/share_image.png'
# config.store_seorel_if = :empty # Available values :empty | :changed
config.default_og_metas = {
type: 'website'
}
config.default_twitter_metas = {
card: 'summary_large_image'
}
# config.enable_pagination = true
# config.pagination_format = ' - Pag. %page%'
# config.pagination_parameter_name = 'page'
end
```
## Usage
### Usage with an active record model
Given a sample model Post:
```ruby
rails generate model post title:string description:text, publish_date:date
```
Edit `app/models/post.rb`:
```ruby
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
extend Seorelify
seorelify title: :customized_title, description: :description, image: :share_image
# Or more simply:
# seorelify :customized_title, :description, :share_image
def customized_title
"THE BLOG: #{self.title}"
end
end
```
This will use the `customized_title` and the `description` methods as references to generate automatically the related metatags.
Note that the title and description will be sanitized from HTML and truncated to 255 characters.
### Controllers
In your controllers you may add\_metatags either like a before\_filter or within a method.
```ruby
class PostsController < ApplicationController
def index
###
# Custom meta tags
add_metatags({
title: 'My custom meta title',
description: 'My custom meta description',
image: '/sample_image.png'
})
...
end
def show
@post = Post.find(params[:id])
###
# Extract meta tags info from your Seorelified Model
add_metatags @post
...
end
def history
...
end
end
```
In case of missing `add_metatags` declaration in controller actions, you can define metatags through rails `L10n` library. Simply by defining your locale strings for seorel.
For instance `seorel.en.yml`:
```yaml
# encoding: utf-8
en:
seorel:
# controller_name:
# action_name:
# prepend_title: '...'
# title: '...'
# append_title: '...'
#
# prepend_description: '...'
# description: '...'
# append_description: '...'
posts:
show:
prepend_title: "Details for: "
history:
title: "Posts history metatitle"
description: "Posts history metadescriprion"
tags:
index:
title: "Tag list"
description: "Tag list metadescription"
```
Where `posts` and `tags` are controller names, while `history` and `index` are their actions.
### Views
In your layout <head></head> section just call the `render_meta_tags` helper:
```html
<%= render_meta_tags %>
...
```
